C Class Ip And Its Importance In Seo

Let's start out with the basics.

IP address are classified into 3 class's (groups) depending on the

decimal equivalent of the 1st octet in the address as below:

0-255.***.***.*** = all address's

Class A

Intended for a small number of networks that had a large number of

computers (hosts) attached. Class A IP Address have a value in the

range 1...126 as the first octet. The values 0 and 127 are not

available because they have special uses. Class A addresses use the

first octet to identify the network which means that 126 addresses are

usable, each of which can support 16,777,216 computers (hosts).

Class B

Intended for some networks that had an intermediate number of computers

(hosts) attached. Class B IP Addresses have a value in the range

128...191 as the first octet. Class B addresses use the first two

octets to identify the network which means that 16,320 addresses are

usable, each of which can support 65,536 computers (hosts).

Class C

Intended for a large number of networks that would have a small

(relatively) number of computers (hosts) attached. Class C IP Addresses

have a value in the range 192...223 as the first octet. Class C

addresses use the first three octets to identify the network which

means that 2,080,800 addresses (networks) are possible, each of which

can support 254 computers (hosts).

Whats the importance of C class IP in SEO?

Search engines don't prefer back links from the same IP addresses .Many

new smaller novice hosts firms only mange one single or very few

C-classes and therefore makes it difficult to get multiple IPs in

different C-classes if you host all your sites the same place. Larger

hosts have many C-classes (I believe some even have almost full

B-classes but unless you specifically

request your various sites to be on different C-class IPs you still

could end up on the same. It's usually not something hosts care about

(in relation to SEO and linking).Many webmasters started creating

hundreds of website on same server and linked each other to increase

the sites backlink and google page ranking.

Latest Search Engines like google identified this issue and started

avoiding links coming from similar IPs - given its easy to get

different D class ips on same server, Search Engines also started

avoiding Links from same C Class IP. So whenever any good search engine

see that youve a link coming from same C Class IP on which your

website is located, the backlink will not have any importance oe little

importance. Keep in mind that youll not get penalized if youve link

coming from same C class IP, but youll not get any advantage either.

But Search Engine filters penalize your website if they are:

- Hosting websites on I.P addresses in the same C Class
- Similar nameservers for websites
- Similar WhoIs information for websites
- Similar rDNS domain for websites

So if you are doing the link exchange specially if you dont have your

own server, do check if the person you are linking to has a different C

class ip than yours.Multiple C Class IP hosting gives a better back

linking solution.

SEO Hosting a new idea ; is all about providing different class C IP

address and enable webmasters to host their websites and blogs from

separate nameserver on separate class C IP addresses. Multiple class C

IPs can really push SEO score of a website to a large extent. Class C

IP technique works great enough that there is no scope of its failure.

Many good reputable hosting firms have now come up with the new concept

of SEO Hosting Plans which do offer a set of Class C IP's to host your

websites and blogs. If your website or portal is hosted on such a SEO

Plan then what you need to do is

just host a website or a blog like word press on each of unique Class C

IP and post good article on regular basis in these blogs with links

linking to your target site but all this should not look like spam,

articles must be unique with keyword density of up to 10 percent and

not more than two links in a post of 250 words.

To make you under stand better the idea of C class ips ,here is an

example of same C class IP address for two different webmasters
