Network Of Sites...

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone can help me out...

We have recently been hit by the Google penguin update and I'm currently working though all the bad / spammy backlinks that previous SEO companies have built for us.

I have come across 1 particular domain www.justgoodcars.com they seem to have a lot of different domain names:

<colgroup><col width="390"></colgroup>
| http://www.justpulsarcars.com/nissan-pulsar-warranties/1/United_Kingdom/all.html |
| http://www.justpumacars.com/ford-puma-warranties/1/United_Kingdom/all.html |
| http://www.justpuntocars.com/dutch-site/fiat-punto-warranties/1/United_Kingdom/all.html?selectcountry1=United_Kingdom |
| http://www.justpuntocars.com/fiat-punto-warranties/1/United_Kingdom/all.html?selectcountry1=United_Kingdom |

Now all of theses domains names have exactly the same IP Address?? Above is just a few I would say there are 100s of them.

Do you think this could have an affect on us?

Thanks,

Scott

If they are all coming from same IP address then yes, that could be a big problem. I would suggest seeing if there is a main contact that oversees all the sites and see if they can do a bulk link removal of all links pointing to your site.

Once you have all these links removed, your going to want to go out and replace a portion of them with quality links. Hope this helps some.

Thanks for the reply Anthony.

I've just ran 100 of the domains though and they all have the same IP Address - trying to get old of the company in question is proving a little bit more difficult...

I've just been reading this interesting post about 1 of the main domains names tho, what do you think of this? Could this have a big affect on our site?

Wow! That's really sucks. Negative guy has no soul, heart or integrity. Ive often heard from other seo peeps in the industry that its not what they do to their site that makes them rank well, its what they find wrong with competition and report to google that gets them the best return.

The negative guy in forum post took this to a whole other level. Id love to hear what google has to say about that.
