It's been rumored that being on the same class C will effect ranking with other sites. Any facts to this?
If I'm hosting 15 sites on the same class C but if they have say 1 link among them would this weigh on my rankings? The class C issue is really confusing to me. I don't want to get banned or any other thing that could affect me getting indexed and etc...
Any references where to get a better understanding of the class C issue or evening getting in google? Please let me know. Thanks!
The first thread I can recall about class c's and google filtering was a discussion we had a while ago on the Hilltop algorithm [webmasterworld.com] but so far, I haven't seen them implement a class c filter by itself to affect rankings.
That being said, I don't know conclusively if it's used in connection with other filters...
Read the post by the person called Googleguy in this thread. He works for Google. Other than this statement I don't believe much else is known about the class C issue.
