But it would devolve into a never-ending game of Hungry Hungry Hippos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fileproinfo.com\/blog\/why-owning-a-home-is-actually-a-bad-investment\/2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why Owning a Home is Actually a Bad Investment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, along with the evidence we&#8217;ll provide below, explains why SEO professionals are getting mixed signals here. The truth about IP addresses as a ranking factor is discussed further below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-claim-ip-addresses-as-ranking-factors\">The Claim: IP Addresses As Ranking Factors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Things can get murky in the SEO community when it comes to IP addresses as a ranking factor. And it&#8217;s difficult to know who to believe or what to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term &#8220;bad neighborhoods&#8221; sparked the idea of using IP addresses as a ranking factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad neighborhoods are based on the assumption that if you use shared hosting, your IP address is shared with all of the other sites on the same shared server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means you could be sharing a server with 5, 20, 100, 1,000, or even 20,000+ other websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it matter if you share a server with 499 other websites that discuss porn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you need a dedicated IP address? Or how about cloud hosting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at the evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Proof Of IP Address As A Ranking Factor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is IP Address Considered A Ranking Factor?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Matt Cutts of Google provided an answer to this IP address question back in 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"190\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/seo-client.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/seo-client.png 512w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/seo-client-300x111.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>His response:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cI really wouldn\u2019t worry about it that much.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>However, later that month, Kaspar Szymanski, Google&#8217;s Search Quality Strategist, tweeted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"218\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kasper.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kasper.png 512w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kasper-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As you might expect, this caused some consternation in the SEO community. Google published a blog post in June 2011 about protecting users from malware hosted on bulk subdomain services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, in July 2011, Google banned an entire subdomain,.co.cc, due to the host&#8217;s unusually high number of spammy sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"203\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/banned-subdomains.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/banned-subdomains.png 512w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/banned-subdomains-300x119.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, when asked a similar question about IP addresses on Twitter in 2018, Google&#8217;s John Mueller put this to rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"176\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/phillip-burger.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/phillip-burger.png 512w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/phillip-burger-300x103.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Mueller\u2019s response was simple and direct:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/john-muller-nope.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/john-muller-nope.png 512w, https:\/\/seopolarity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/john-muller-nope-300x59.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, we can assume that this was a ranking factor in the early 2010s. But that is no longer the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the location of the server affect SEO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Will your SEO suffer if you host your site in the United States but move it to a server in Brazil?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mueller responded to this question on Twitter, writing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If you move to a server in a different location? Usually not.
