They see a complete snapshot of the web surrounding the domain in question.

Text, outbounds, images, page size, date, backlinks, even spelling mistakes, are all other ways they can easily catch you for creating your own little network.

Having 40 domains on differant c-classes, then linking them all up to one main one, is still going to get you caught. You could not produce enough seperate, quality backlinks to show them otherwise and chances are, would just turn into a wasted 40 domains.

Go for rankings that are rocks, make them last, why fuck around.
