About 3% of all web sites "own" a private IP number, with the remainder being on virtual, or name-based, servers. Although only 3% are dedicated IP's, we have seen that in many instances well over 90% of the top-50 results in the search engines are sites having dedicated IP numbers. This was so strange that we have repeatedly validated these findings, and have found that switching a site from a virtual IP to a dedicated IP number alone has caused significant ranking increases. Of course, the web is so dynamic that this could be coincidence, but we do not think so.
Likewise, we have found that there are "dirty" IP c-blocks, ranges of IP numbers that have been tarnished by spammers and left to be reassigned to unsuspecting sites. If your site is in the range of the spammers IP, then you are equally penalized. We have likewise found instances where simply moving a site has caused the ranking to improve.
