Links from same server or not?

[conversal]

Hello,

I make websites so every website I make has a backlink to my website. Currently all my websites are hosted on server A, but my OWN website is hosted on server B.

I plan to move my website to server A too.

This will indicate that all the backlinks I have currently are from a difference server, now all these links will come from the SAME server.

Will this have any results on my positions? Is this something that you have to take into account?

Hi Jeroen,

I'd be very careful about placing sitewide links on all your client sites that point back to you site. This could easily end up hurting you. Here's an example where WPMU.org was hit because they were doing something similar - http://moz.com/blog/how-wpmuorg-recovered-from-the-penguin-update.

I think the best thing for you to do is add a "nofollow" tag to all the links from your clients' sites that point to your site. This should help protect you and then moving your site over to Server A won't be a problem either.

Hope this helps.
