North American hosting penalized versus European hosts ? - GoFuckYourself.com

Now this one's going to be fun

I am pretty sure that SE's are "more friendly" with hosts/ips from all around the world regarding top positions.

Let me explain.
I had a bunch of hot domains and made blogs with them. Got a VPS with some Ips from a North American host, never got listed well. Switch to a another VPS located in europe. BANG all of them got listed. First page regarding lots of various keywords and making sales. Same designs, same stuff. Just hosted elsewhere.

To much stuff hosted in North America ? Saturated ?
Wanting to give chances to get top listings to other people ?

You have not provided near enough information to know whether your speculation is correct or not. Where is your target demographic located, does the NA host have a bunch of dirty IPs?

Yeah maybe the dirty thingo could be the problem but to be honest, i don't know. All i can say for now is that it worked out for me. It's a reliable host by the way (i don't want to bash them) probably has nothing to do with them. I'm just asking if you experienced the same thing ?

It's a "theory" so to speak but i got proof ? Pure Luck ? Don't know...

"Reliable" hosts can have their issues too.

Simlar happened here a few years ago ...but it was just contained to North American hosts ...for some strange reason it seemed that when hosting stuff with "The Planet" it became a little more search engine friendly.

I just put it down to luck and such , didnt have enough data to really confirm it , but now you have mentioned it maybe it was more than that.

makes you go ummmmmmmmmmm
