C class IP range

[Siva]

Please go through some expert comments on C-class IP range

If you are having multiple websites linking together and those websites are from the same IP address, this is really bad for SEO, and this will hurt your website ranking in search engines and also drop in google pagerank.

As a case study, on April 2007 google updates, I having about 10 websites. And got 2 of them are sitting in the same server and linked to each other. In general all my websites are increased in pagerank, except the two that are sitting in the same server.

Finally I found out from online webmaster forums, that there are few discussion about this as well. And its concluded that the same IP address is the main caused for this. Some view it as google sandbox. But its not totally correct. Google sandbox is where your website is totally drop from google SERP.

Definitely you will either need to place your websites at different web server at different location, or get a class-c ip address for each of your websites.
