Chapter 4

If you think about it, it makes sense that Google gives priority to websites that have links on

many IP Addresses rather than many links all on the same IP Address. This helps eliminate the

possibility of people controlling the search engines.

If Google didn't look at IP Addresses, I could simply create 1 website with thousands of pages

and link to another 1 of my websites from all of these pages. I would then have thousands of

links pointing to my website, which would probably result in a #1 ranking...

Unfortunately, Google's smarter than that and doing that won't work, because ALL of

your link partners would have the same IP Address, because they'd all be coming from

your other website.

Anyway, back to the IP Addresses. As we scroll over, click the "IP Address" column heading to

sort the column, we'll notice that www.diet-i.com also has many links from different IP

Addresses. That's also a BIG plus for them.
