Same IP for 3 sites and GoogleBot

[valerian]

Hi all,

Is there a probleme having 1 same IP adress for 3 different web sites?

The first two sites are regulary spidered by Googlebot, but the 3rd site has never been spidered (the site is online since january). And I don't find any reason about this.

The site has some links pointing to it, so i think GoogleBot knows the URL.

Hope my english is understandable ;-)

Thank You,

Valérian

Technically, sharing an IP address shouldn't be the reason your third site isn't being spidered. But it is usually recommended to host each of your sites on different IPs (that's a preemptive, better safe than sorry technique for the most part).

If the third site isn't being indexed at all, check to ensure the sites linking to it are allowing googlebot to follow their links. If that doesn't appear to be the problem, and you're quite confident that your third site is no different (technically) from your first two, get more links, keep an eye on your logs for the bot, and just hope you're in for the next update.

has googlebot ever visited your third site? Or has it just not deep crawled it yet?

Googlebot has never visited the website. No signes of it in the logs.
I'll see if i can change the IP of the site.

I'm getting more and more links (about 10), with pages that have a PR of 3, 4 and some 5. So i hope Googlebot will come soon.
But the website isn't yet in DMOZ or Yahoo.

Thanks,
now i'll wait :-)

The same ip for 3 sites would not make the problem for you in google.

There are many webhosting companies that uses the same dns and the same ip for each server they have, so the problem with the same ip is if you are crosslinking the sites very hard to each other then maybe you have a problen, but not if you play by the rules.

I've check other websites hosted on the same server.
3 more website have the same IP adress, and Google has indexed these websites, at least the first page.

I'm wondering if the problem doesn't come from the domain name.

I've bought the domain name in december. But formerly, the owner was www.domaincollection.com, a company who resale domain names.

Do you think, this can be a reason of beeing penalized?

Thanks,

Thank you Ove,

I've put one link on each site, but since 1 or 2 week i deleted them. Now there's no link between these sites.

You can put a link to each sites that would not be a bad thing to do.

Hi,

since HTTP/1.1 there is no need for individual IPs.

Actually you won't get them, because they are rare.
AFAIK you will only get IPs (from RIPE, here in germany) if it is technically inescapable (https/SSL).

Google shouldn't have problem with that.
