Re: Google Pagerank and "Class-C Addresses"

* Sebastian Wiesinger:

I'm looking into a weird request which more and more customers have. They want "different Class C addresses", by which they mean IPs in different /24 subnets.

It's not that weired at all. Others demand the same because it allegedly increases reliability.

My question is: Is there any proof that Google does differentiate between /24s, or even better is there any proof that this isn't the case?

Good luck. Google doesn't disclose their algorithms. There doesn't appear to be any Google statement on this matter, either. -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
