Changing Servers

[con771]

Did anyone ever have any issues with adsense after switching servers? Did you notice your pagerank or earnings change?

No difference in my experience and I've moved 100+ sites in the last couple of years with the last ones finally being moved in November/December 2005.

I twice changed servers and didn't see any effects. You might see an effect if you are targetting a specific country, and your server is moving from one country to another. Google SERP position is dependent on the IP address and physical location of the server for searches on www.google.nl, www.google.de etc and free traffic to your site may increase or decrease because of a server move.

That's a relief to hear..
I've had to move a site this morning and was hoping it wouldn't make any practical difference to adsense..
Thanks

Went down for over a week and changed servers with no repercussions what so ever except that I was making money even while offline from Google cache :)

I've seen a decrease in AdSense since changing servers, but perhaps it has something to do with my host apparently deciding that I was being hit by too many spiders and blocking them all with its firewall. There's nothing like having every major search engine decide that your site is down, and having the Mediabot blocked, to boost your income....

Doh! Excellent and very crucial point lammert.

Just as an addendum to this, say you were in the UK, be very careful of the "largest" host since all theirs are held in Germany or the USA and this would most probably annhialate all your efforts!
