Re: Google Pagerank and "Class-C Addresses"

We used to have a lot of people buying IP's in bulk for SEO. They
would all cancel within one or two months citing that they couldn't
afford it or the project failed, etc. Guess they realized that the
whole thing is a myth.

continues.


I'll take that one further:

I got -fired- my first day after explaining why using proxy servers spread
across the world to "present" websites from different IP addresses a) did
nothing to help their search result rankings and b) was a complete waste of
resources.....


Some people just don't want to know.
