      Was looking at Google webmasters earlier today and I noticed that links are shown from my own IP address. Really weird. Any clue on how to fix that?

        Hi Punit,

        May I have your website URL ? And some of the examples of links ? You might have multiple sites on same IP.

          Hey Sanket,

          My website is: www.comparebroker.co Yes we do have multiple sites hosted on the site using vhost.

          Example links are:

          http://50.63.177.37/online-comparison/tradeking-vs-scottrade/

          http://50.63.177.37/online-comparison/lightspeed-vs-thinkorswim/

          Please let me know what the deal is.

          Thanks a lot

            Punit,

            I think its showing because IP canonicalization. Your site's IP 50.63.177.37 does not redirect to your site's comparebroker.com. So Google is treating ip address as different site. This could cause duplicate content problems if a search engine indexes your site under both its IP and domain name.

            Solution: Consider using a 301 re-write rule in your .htaccess file so that your site's IP points to your domain name. It can also be solved through by putting canonical URL.

            Thanks to woorank.com for online tool.
