Can a spammy website affect the ranking of other sites hosted on the same server?



My SEO client is using shared hosting for one of their websites. When I checked other sites hosted on their server, I found some spammy websites. Will that affect ranking of my client’s website?

  1. So Matt says that hosting websites on the same server/IP address doesn't harm. What about links between those sites? If google treat them like sites on different servers, those link should be even powerfull 😉

  2. @somename99 I think the general answer was "no, except in very rare unique cases" such as the 26k spammy websites on one host. That's what I got from it anyways.
