Majestic SEO - Neighbourhood Checker

[Paul78]

Hi there,

I have placed an article on a blog which I am very happy with, the webmaster has came back to me and suggested more blogs which they are relevant to my niche, so all good, however when checking the neighbourhood checker in Majestic SEO, I had entered one of the domains he suggested then Majestic SEO gave me this message:

Note: we recommend checking this IP: 99.45.343.45 (this is because some domains have multiple IPs or this one changed it recently). please note IP is just an example. Once I checked the IP, all the domains he had suggested were all listed under that IP, should I avoid placing anymore articles on these domains? from an SEO perspective.

Kind Regards,

I would focus more on each individual site's Page and Domain Authority. Take a look at their backlink profile as well to make sure its not a link farm or spammy.

If each site looks legitimate, I would submit blogs to the other sites.

Hi Derek,

Their backlink profile looks ok. I was just wondering the value of each link on these websites? as they all seem to be on the same IP.

The strange thing is when using the chrome add on 'PageRank Status' the IP addresses are different, I have got to say slightly different, all in the same city.

Kind Regards

The value of the link is probably less than a link from a site from a different IP address but it is still a counted link and your site shouldn't be penalized.

Here are some good discussions and studies on the topic:
