TheContractor,

You mentioned this, "Most of these share the same IP and/or go to the same datacenter.".

I am not saying you are incorrect in your findings, I haven't access to the list of sites you looked at.

I can however state that Google has a major problem handling sites on shared IP addresses.

In another recent thread a client of someone got a call about they had hijacked another company's home page.

The caller got the hijack direction wrong (oops) and in fact there were at least 10 domains (different owners except for 2 domains, which btw also got split). These domains had pages from each other and embedded links pointing to other sites' pages.

However the sites were not crosslinked when you looked under the hood.
