Why You Should Have More Than One Hosting Account
Posted on December 16th, 2009 in SEO, Web Hosting
A friend of mine sent me an email about three months ago, bitching that he can’t get his sites ranking better, an he has a nice amount of over 10. He does all the seo stuff he should , drips content, keyword rich content, but he can’t bust the top 10 for his niches, and for a few not even the top 20.
Now lets face it, if SEM is your method of driving traffic and getting sales, you need to be on page 1 of Google.
There difference between page 1 and 2 is much deeper than just one level.
His linking strategy was the problem. He was linking his sites together, thinking he give himself some free backlinks.
You see, if all of your links come from web sites that are hosted in the same place, on the same IP address more specifically, (ie. if they are all on your one shared hosting account), Google will ignore the links.
Because Google understand the links are not natural. So what to do?
Have a few different hosting accounts. I have five actually, but at even $10/mth per account its still a reasonably cheap $50 a month.
VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure you buy Proxy Privacy for each domain you have, it should be under $10. If you don’t do this google can connect you to your sites the a Whois search.
…also make sure all your links are one way. Don’t start interlinking with reciprocal linking, it will defeat the purpose.
So if you can afford it and you’re serious about making it online, do open more than 1 or even 2 hosting accounts. Believe me it’ll be worth the few extra $$$ each month in the long haul.
Just my opinion, based on what I have been taught and what I do.
