Different Domains on Same IP
-
Hello
I'm just wondering how much of a difference it makes having links to a site from 2 separate domains that are on the same IP, compared to if the domains were on separate IPs?
Thank you!

If 2 links come from different sites, but they are in the same IP, those links will pass less juice than if they were in different IP.
Likewise other have responded.
I recommend you to not worry about that. After all, there are finite IPs and there is able to be infinite sites.
Of course, you should not abuse. Even more, if you're running a PBN, be extremaly careful on the external links you create.Gaston.

One thing I would also add is, don't be afraid of linking at all, if the link is relevant, SEO history told us that external linking is bad. This is only now true if what you are linking too has no relevance to the page whatsoever.
Linking to a great source for more information would only bolster your page as you will be giving the visitor a richer experience. If you can supply the information internally without duplication then internal info is obviously going to be more valuable to your site.
Ensure your incoming links are from credible sites with relevant content/articles. We don't spend too much time doing this but should!

Absolutely correct. The only thing I'd add to this is that provided the links make sense, don't disregard them just because they carry less strength; less strength is better than the 0 strength you get from not adding the link!
As long as it's being done in moderation, it's not really going to be a danger either. If a large portion of your site is made up of links from the same IP though, this is going to raise some red flags that maybe you're running a PBN. Just down form sketchy looking patterns and you'll be just fine.

Google takes into account that the two sites are related. Receiving a link to your site is receiving a vote in Google's eyes. Hence, if the two sites are related, the vote holds less weight than a link from a separate domain. Think of it like a baker voting for their own bread at a cooking competition. The judge (in this case Google) will take the relationship into account.
So yes, it does make a significant difference. I think less juice is passed, but I am unsure on this, Google may have some other way of discounting the link. None the less, the link still holds value. Hope this helps.

Different meta descriptions for same page
Hi Depending what terms I put into Google I am seeing a different meta description for exactly the same page. I have checked Umbraco CMS and everything seems in working order. Is there a reason this would be happening? Anyone else had trouble like this?

Local site under generic domain
Howdy Mozers, We have main website on .com domain and local websites for each language like .es, .fr, .in etc. We decided to move all local sites under main domain .com using subdirectories with gTLDs. One of the local sites has a manual penalty. Right now we are redirecting local site which have penalty using 302 redirect. So my question is. Will 302 redirect hurt our main site? Is there any other way to redirect visitors from local site without passing penalty? We have few thousands monthly users who are still using local domain links to get to our site, so we can't remove redirect at all. Best Regards,

Redirect non www. domain to WWW. domain for established website?
Hey guys, The website in question has been online for more than 5 years but there are still 2 versions of the website. Both versions are indexed by Google and of course, this will result in duplicate content. Is it necessary to redirect the non-www domain to the www. domain. What are the cons and advantages? Will the www. links replace the non-www links when it comes to keyword rankings? Thanks.

Domain tld question
Hi all, I have a question regarding the ranking of exact match tld which is co.uk Currently I have a .com domain with PR of 3 and the problem is that it have one word in front of my desired keyword, so it's not exact match. I have managed to buy an exact match but it's co.uk The questions are: Will a co.uk rank better for UK than .com domain I am reading at SEOMOZ that exact match domain value is getting lower, so is it worth to redirect my current .com domain to co.uk just to get rid of that one word and start all over again with exact match. Thanks

What is the best method to block a sub-domain, e.g. staging.domain.com/ from getting indexed?
Now that Google considers subdomains as part of the TLD I'm a little leery of testing robots.txt with something like: staging.domain.com
Technical SEO | | fthead9
User-agent: *
Disallow: / in fear it might get the www.domain.com blocked as well. Has anyone had any success using robots.txt to block sub-domains? I know I could add a meta robots tag to the staging.domain.com pages but that would require a lot more work.0 -
Domain Masking with New Keyword-Rich Domains
Hello, friends. We have an ecommerce site and we also own several keyword-rich domains but haven't done anything with them yet. Is there any value in using domain masking to point them to either product pages or special landing pages on our primary ecommerce site? Here's an example: Primary site is widgetzone.com Keyword rich URL is acmewidget.com (which is totally blank and isn't indexed) It could point to our category page for Acme Widgets: widgetzone.com/category/acme-widgets or it could point to a new landing page: widgetzone.com/acme-widgets My concern is that because the keyword-rich URL hasn't been utilized at all there's really no point in redirecting it. I'm of the mind that it's either going to be ineffective at best or a duplicate content issue at worst. What do you guys think? As a follow-up, if we don't redirect these domains, what should we do with them? Just try to sell them off rather than create totally new sites?

Consolidating domains on root subject
I had several sites regarding a core subject. The main site was xyz.com and then I had multiple sites for the inner categories of xyz.com . I decided to consolidate everything to a single site and so did a change of address in webmaster tools and 301 redirected all niche sites to the appropriate page on the primary site of xyz.com. Shortly after we lost rankings for those niche pages. Any thoughts?
