We all know inbound links help your sites relevancy. But can I stimulate my site A relevancy using my other sites if I use different IP's?
I know google and other SE's can see if your site A and B are both owned by the same owner and links pointing from A to B will have less weight. But what if you use different IP addresses and link from your site A to your site B? Does this count as a 'full' inbound non-reciprocol link?
And if both sites are hosted with the same hosting company and the IP's only have a few different numbers at the end, do SE's know that because both IP's are so similar they're probably owned by the same person?
However, in your example, you refer to only two sites, and certainly we have mulitple sites as parts of mini-networks that share WHOIS, link openly but conservatively to one and other (where it makes sense for the user), and clearly do (or at least have) benefitted from this.
I would not go out of my way to be sneaky where sneaky is not called for.
Besides if you have lots of good IBL's from relevant and quality sites, whether or not you get full or near full credit from owned sites linking back and forth will not really matter much at all.
Make sense?
Caveman, you mentioned WHOIS. Does google really look at that too?
I know I can get IBL from other sites than my own, which give the maximum value, but linking from my own sites could give my new site a quick jump start...
Also, if more domains use the same IP, can they influence each other, because of that same IP address? Even if they don;t link to one another?
