I just heard that websites on the same dedicated IP, that are linking to each other, do not get as much relevance as websites on different shared servers, linking to each other.
Is this true? I suppose it makes sense, but then why does google penalize sites that are on the same ip, that are linking to each other. I suppose that there is room for abuse, ie. having 500 domains all pointing to each other on the same server, but then what is the point of even having a dedicated server, if you only have a handful of sites, and of course you are going to link them to each other?!?
