Hi Oleg,

Thanks for your reply.

The thing is that every single page of the SEM site is really a copy of the SEO one, except for some variations. It's prettly well programmed for handling noindex and canonicals, so in about 5 minutes I can dinamically set it so that every single page in the SEM site has a canonical pointing to its equivalent in the SEO site.

Isn't it too risky to do it on a full site scale? Won't google take it as a bad practice or something? We don't won't to do anything wrong.

Thanks again.

Hello Everyone,

I'm doing a backlink research and we are considering how to define a strategy. My website is located in Spain and I am focusing on ranking my website on Google.es for public coming from Spain. The thing is that until now I used to look carefully at the IP address of my backlink prospects, to check if the website was really hosted in Spain.

I know Matt Cutts used to say very long ago that hosting location of a website was important. But taking into account that nowadays with cloud servers, CDNs, AnyCast and such technologies it's no longer possible to accurately identify the location of a website, specially if the CDN of the websites uses AnyCast, so that an IP address can be used by different machines in different locations.

Do you guys think I should keep looking at the IP address location on my backlink prospects?
