On this logic it would not be smart to use a cloud like the Google App Engine. I am pretty shure that Google would never penalyse somebody who is using their own products.

Hello Adstiger,

If your two sites are linked together it doesn’t really matter at that point. Its probably that google has already concluded that the two sites are somehow related or ran by the same person – since they link together and are from the same server.

However, I don’t believe this will effect your search engine ranking or the amount of traffic they send you. If the two sites you link together are related in niche, it will help you if anything.

I have only two domains hosted on a same web hosting account. I am confused about whether I really need the dedicated IP for SEO or not?

Both of my sites link to each other and have the same page rank. I will be glad if you please help.

“The search engine will assign less rank value to the 5th site because it knows that the 4 sites linking to it are all related/owned by the same person.”

Thank you. It ’s clear for me to choose Dedicated IP, I plan to have many domain.

having a dedicated ip also means you can run your own nameserver and host as many domains as necesary, as well as your own SMTP server. To be honest I can’t think of not using one….

Dedicated can be good, but its getting very hard to get legitimate emails delivered due to heavy filtering by ISPs due to all the spam out there unfortunately. I don’t even require email validation on my forum because so many people never get the emails…

Another SEO benefit of having a dedicated IP is the clean environment for your website, when using shared IP there is a possibility that you are sharing the same IP with hundreds of spammers, some search engines will penalize the whole IP in case they found hundreds of spammy website using the same IP.
Finally here is a MSN modifier that show with how your are sharing your IP, go to MSN and type in the search box:
ip:your-site-ip

Also in terms of SEO Google has a tendency to prefer websites that have dedicated IP addresses, so depending on the purpose of the site it might be necessary for marketing.
