Hi ya'll,

I'm sure many of us have shared hosting accounts where we can have multiple addon domains in one account.

But regarding the drawbacks of this, are there any? Suppose we add 7 domains into our one acount and Google see's them all as having the same IP, will that be good or bad?

Will it impact our Adsense accounts in any way? I was told that we need to have different IPs and maybe different hosting accounts for that matter if we wanted to run multiple sites so as not to raise any flags with G...cos G may have some negative thoughts about us.

I don't think the IP address means much; there are only 4 bn of those available, and going on 7 bn people alive now. Half of them with access to the net? And a lot of people have lots of web sites. So, eventually, we're going to run out of addresses. And most sites are probably carried on a shared host. So I don't think that will be a problem.

But the duplicate content filter will. Eventually most ( hopefully not all ) of your domains will fall into the supplemental index, a graveyard to former sites. You might get some short-term gain until the search engines work it all out, but it won't last more than a couple of months.

Another drawback is that if you collect links to all of your different domains, you're splitting the effectiveness of your whole campaign. I started my site as LandscapePhoto.us, and then started doing portraits, so I changed it to ForrestCroce.com, threw up redirects ( 301 ) and I'm just starting to see my Google referrals climb steeply. I think a lot of that is because my links were split between the two domains, and now they're starting to consolidate.

Google knows that for sure, but i dont think this wont hurt, as long as every site on same IP have unique domain, and content..

Google aren't going to dislike you for running multiple sites, why would they?
As long as each site is good quality it won't be a problem.

Yeah, at the end of the day, it's in Google's best interest to know about as many quality sites as possible.

Thanks guys, I feel better now about running several domains on my one hosting account, to run several sites with it. At least I would be making use of the domains and the hosting account allowance.

I think having different domains pointing to same site can be a big problem as far as Google is concerned. But, I don't think IP would be a problem.

It's not a problem for Google, they just filter out the ones they don't want.
