Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi, Yes this is fully correct, google is using the directores ODD and this is normaly, my websites have the same thing, because the ODD is in multiple language, and google for each ccTLD domain like, google.co.uk / google.de etc.. for each one is using the odd on the parent language. Your competitor websites is for a long time registered on ODD and for that reason. bye

Thanks for the insight guys. I'll give them a go.

Pretty much all hosting companies offer dedicated ips but they are likely to be of the same class C subnet as ips are bought in blocks.

This might help: My client is a guest ranch that does a lot of different things:  guided fishing/hunting trips, horseback riding, weddings, small conferences, vacations, etc. They have two sites, one for the fishing and hunting (6 months old), the other for everything else (12 year old site). I'm trying to get them to come up with more content, which is slowly happening. The facebook page is doing well with about 3k active users. There is a lot of linkbuilding potential for both sites but that is going to take more time and effort than money...i think.

Saibose, Do you think links from a wordpress blog are better?
