      Hello, I want to ask if two domains which r hosted on the same server and have the same ip ( usually happens with shared hosts ) tries to rank for the same keywords in google, does the same ip affects them or not.

          Hi Pervaiz,

          I do agree with Peter Nikolov.
          For more information, I do strongly suggest you to learn and read a lot about the subjet. Here you have some blog posts and Q&A:

          How Google Knows What Sites You Control And Why it Matters - Whiteboard Friday - Blog Moz.com
          IPv6, C-Blocks, and How They Affect SEO - Blog Moz.com
          the benefits from having a dedicated IP - Moz Q&A
          Websites on same c class IP address - Moz Q&A

          Hope it helps.

            Yes, it's possible. I have example that on same host i host few sites that can rank on same keywords in SERP.

            But you should watch for some spam sites on same IP:
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsSwqo16C8s
            there is example 26k vs. 1.

            Update:
            So few sites can rank. But when you try to rank much more then you can trigger some algorithmic filter (i can't find hangout where this is explained) because ranking engine will start to demote you. Since you have time to invest in few sites you should focus on single site. It's like quantity vs quality debate.
