There are various company who perform seo activities for several of their client who are hosted on different servers and they manage them from the same internet connection and they use the same terminal to research on various topics and sites by using the same tool bar and kind of things.

How does google treat this..? is it gonna be a same network..?

A network is a set of linked sites, and it's links between sites that create a network.

However, it now seems clear that Google is buying traffic data from ISPs. If this data includes FTP traffic as well as HTTP traffic, then Google "might" be able to confirm this kind of relationship between websites. Conjecture all the way, here.

thanks tedster..

I have a query here.... we have been handeling different sites for different client on different themes. they are also hosted on different servers and not linked with each others at all because they dont relate anywhere. still if we search a site in google and try to find the similar pages result from google, it return the all of our other sites...

what it sud be...

That is very suggestive - but my gut tells me something else is probably connecting the sites and you haven't uncovered what that is, yet.

I am in the exact same situation, and I access the web through a statis IP address. I do not see any connections between my clients when I click on on "Similar pages" (or use the related: operator). There are a few clients we list on a company portfolio page, and even those sites are not shown as "similar".

One further thought - even if Google does "see" your connection, why would they show that information to the public? If the only relationship between the sites is that they are serviced by the same company, what good does that kind of "relatedness" do for Google's end user?

thanks again.. We dont even link those client in the portfolio because we majorly provide white level services. but yes something is there that need to be de"-/-"linked.

THANKS
