Thread: Does link building on the same IP Address reduce link juice

I just thought about this. I've been link building in many different ways and areas of the net all from my one laptop. I know how advanced the google systems are so now I'm wondering if they recognize that those links were created from the same IP address and therefore would give less link juice to those links. Does anyone know anything about this?

I don't think so it will effect You just need to take care that not to collect backlinks from same IP address. So while submitting website on net first check the IP address.

That is something I have thought about before too. Let's hope not!

When it comes to bookmarking sites, yes it does matter because they won't allow you to bookmark again from the same IP address.

Yes it does matter. It is very important to have links on many ips because google checks this and will get suspuis . They will think the places you are getting your links are farms . That is why blog networks are on many ip adresses. More the diverse ips will help your site.

As fredsmith said, you do want your links to appear across many diverse IP addresses as Google is likely to only count one or a few from any one IP. It would seem to me that placing links from one or a limited number of IPs within a net range would appear more normal than spreading the link building over the web (this, I think, is the OP's question). Building links from many IPs in a short period of time would seem to me to be a footprint of using link building tools with proxy servers. You can only physically be in one place at one time, so if links were built from IPs around the world in a specific timeframe, as in blog commenting with a scrapebox blast, this is something that might be picked up algorithmically. Of course, more natural links could be posted from diverse IPs in a short time - such as trackbacks to a good blog post. I have no idea if Google actually looks at this, but this is the way that I see it.

When it comes to bookmarking sites, yes it does matter because they won't allow you to bookmark again from the same IP address.

I think that this would apply to the same URL. You should be able to bookmark a different URL without problems, or the bookmarking sites would only be single use site per user.

Yes the point is you need to be diverse , google does not want to be minipulated so need to make it look like natural and like you did not build links.

Fred you have missed the point of the OP who is asking about building links from an IP address (ie. the same computer), not building links on sites that are on the same IP.

This is so much important things to keep in mind that doing link building with same ip address is not a right way, for doing this you link may be counted as a spam and will block by Google.

No, I don’t think search engines look into this aspect until there is something fishy.
Search engines alarm when it smells something unethical like 1K backlinks overnight. As long as your backlinks are organic, search engines won’t penalize you, no matter they are coming from same IP.

No, doing SEO work from the same IP will not affect in passing link juice. Getting a muliple backlinks from same IP will only considered as only one backlink and may pass less link juice.

Thanks for this discussion! I appreciate it! It's very helpful.

I actually came across this issue recently. I had a client who was a web design company, and hosts all of their clients websites off the same IP address. 95% of their backlinks were all from footer links on these sites - we're talking thousands of backlinks here. They also use only branded terms as the anchor text. While this client does have a page rank of 6, they perform poorly for the keywords they are targeting. The reason being, with the Panda update, Google pretty much gives little to no value on repeat links from the same IP address because that's how link farms used to get their link juice. These footer links are pretty much just being looked at as internal links. It won't hurt your SEO by having these, but it won't help much either. It just made my client's site seem like a massive site rather than having massive backlinks. Their domain authority is fairly low considering the amount of backlinks and linking domains. By adding in different anchor texts, there will be a little bit more link value, but to answer your question - you would be much better off having different IP addresses linking to your site.
