Effect of dedicated IP on SEO?

You are right but this is minor factor regarding to seo content and backlinks are the backbone so don,t worry about that

No difference!

As far as I am aware a dedicated IP in itself does not offer any benefits over a shared IP except in situations where your hosting provider allows undesireable sites to host with them.

If you find yourself sharing an IP address with several illegal, imoral or unscrupulous websites then you could find yourself labelled by the SE’s as coming from a bad neighbourhood.

However, this should not be an issue if you stick to the mainstream “known” hosting providers who all have contractual conditions preventing the hosting of questionable sites on their network.

I would have thought it would make a difference as you can avoid blacklisted IPs?

Seems like consensus is that a dedicated IP address doesn’t matter. How about geographic specific? Such as a co dot uk site hosted in the US vs hosted in the UK?

Would the geographic location of an IP address have any pending on ranking in say google UK vs google US ?

It could however make a difference in your SEO efforts if you are sharing a server with some frowned upon industries or websites.

As with many things with SEO, much of what you do will only help a little. So, if there is any benefit it would be marginal.

In this instance a lot of the factors benefits, but are from the pitfalls of other sites and using the IP. Google’s only reason to reduce worth or penalise for a shared IP is to slow down spammers etc.

If your IP has been blacklisted. You’ve problems, not just for SEO, email, and a whole host of other things.

If your content/theme is very similar to lots of sites on the same IP again this could be construed as a potential spam opportunity (it’d need to be in the 500+ sites though)

If sites on the same IP link to each other, these links may have reduced worth… again volume is an issue.

But chances are, if your not trying to manipulate the system & no one else on that IP is, you’ll not experience any issues.

A couple of years ago, I was hosting with a very popular web host (whose name I won’t mention) and for the first time since starting my website 3 years earlier, I suddenly was getting my newsletter emails bouncing with messages saying I’d been pegged as spam (which I definitely was not). I complained to my web host and was told that “these things happen” and it was nothing specifically to do with them. Despite them getting my IP back in the good books of various other IPs (or just handing it back to me as being my problem), it persisted.

I checked publicized black lists a number of times but never found my IP on them. At one point I finally traced the problem (from error messages or headers or something) back to some company that seemed to rent out server space. When I asked my host if they used their services, they stopped answering my emails completely (and phone support just referred me to email support). After a year of this BS, I finally left that host and went with the host I’m still with and have never had even one problem since.

The only time I ever had this problem was when I was with that other host, on a shared IP - never a problem before or since. (Ironic and puzzling, since they typically get rave reviews from users.) With one short-lived exception, I’ve always been on a shared IP, but the only time I ever had a problem was when I was with that one web host and they wouldn’t seriously look into the problem.

I believe either there were spammers using the same IP or else the host was using this other service which might have had a bad reputation or maybe I was on a server there that had ne’er-do-well users on it. FWIW, I didn’t notice a drop in traffic (that could be linked to this other problem) while I was with them, nor a significant rise in traffic since I left them - the problem was entirely with emails being rejected and pegged as spam.

I don’t see any problem having dedicated IP or not. The fact remains how good is your host provider? All this is compensated by speed.

Yes, the geographic location of an IP address would affect the ranking in Google local search. However, you can always set the Geographic target in Google Webmaster Tools to a specific country.

It would make sense that a site with a dedicated IP could benefit a little for a few reasons but not any big difference. You would be better off focusing on link building and good content, I doubt it has a justifiable benefit unless you have a popular and well established site.

A good reason to buy a dedicated IP would be safety. If you have shared hosting with a banned site by google, you may get banned too but if you have a dedicated IP you’ll be a lot safer that way.

Dirrerent IPs of website, makes websites unique in the web.

I think there is no difference

when you are link exchanging between your own site, mean…same server…
that never gives you any point for seo benefit…
and as far as that matter concern dedicated or vps…

there is no difference in dedicated or vps or shared hosting if you are doing seo of your site, it does not matter…

Yeah, it definitely doesn’t matter. I don’t think the geographical stuff makes very much difference either.

Geographical domains and hosting location do make a difference. Dedicated IPs or dedicated hosting does not.

I’ve read innumerable posts about dedicated IP addresses and, as yet, have not seen a definitive answer.
Search Engines are imperfect as their SERPs reflect. What makes them less than perfect are imperfect assumptions.
A substantial imperfect assumption would be one that weighs SERPs ranking in favor of dedicated IP addresses over shared IP addresses. That would favor either technical savvy or funding ability over the content/substance of the website itself - and SEs, at least in theory - are supposed to be about locating quality content. There are many very good websites that are found on shared IP addresses.

Google/Microsoft/Yahoo/AOL can ban IP addresses so they never appear in any search results and no email from the address is ever delivered. So if you share the IP with someone and he gets banned…
