BTW cool article.

If it is indeed a factor, it can't have too much weight placed on it. Anyone with access to a large quantity of proxies could goto town. Best watch your torrents and email attachments, because it would be fucking trojan city. Well, I guess that's the case anyways...

Spreading your linking building out based on IP and C-class setup , especially when the servers are spread across the world is going to give you the most juice. Anytime network wide link spots are bought, even if you choose 5 seperate title/anchors, it's still very easy to be flagged for spammy link building and going to effect your SERPS in a negative way. Buying quality links, using various title/anchor tags and having them added at a slow rate, especially when doing multi network buys, is the key. Soon as google realizes that your buying links, your in trouble. I see people buying links on a steady bases that buy on sites that not even indexed, 10 days old and already have 55 outbound links.

But I'm wary of linking the sites up too much in case they are seen as trying to game google, which, believe it or not, wasn't my intention.

I'm fed up with thinking 'can I link to this site or not?' each time I link up my sites.

Allowing that google can see anything they want to see (especially with affiliate codes, same registrar, etc,), do you think it matters that much to link those sites up as I choose, rather than trying to hide the network, just in case?
