English5 Ways Google Knows your Backlinks are Bullshit

Let’s think as a search engine.
First, the more backlinks you have, the more google considers your website as important. BUT, what if the backlinks come from the same webmaster?
The meaning is just that he’s linking his own websites, and not that his content is outstanding. So, these backlinks are less important in the point of view of the search engines, their “grade” should be lower. Your SEO won't work (or work less)
How can google know that it’s the same webmaster behind several websites :

How can google know that it’s the same webmaster behind several websites :
1) Do you use analytics on all your websites with the same google account? Then google knows all these sites are more or less yours.
2) Do you buy all these domains with the same registrar account? Then google knows it through a whois query.
3) Do you host all these websites on the same server? Then google knows the IP, and is likely to consider that it’s the same webmaster behind.
4) Do you use the same google adwords account on these websites? Then google knows it’s the same person who is taking profit from them… aka same owner.
5) Do you use gmail account settings to use different emails with different domains? Then google knows that you are linked to these domains, so you’re probably one of the owners / employees / webmasters.
This list can probably be bigger, but here are some big things google can know about you and your websites, and therefore lower the “weight” they give to a backlink from one of your sites to another.
Truth is, they would do good by applying these rules, since this would make their search engine more efficient and more accurate…BUT, this is also a way to scare webmasters, and to make them NOT use gmail / analytics / adwords and go for the competition instead… which is a bad signal.
In your opinion, what is the policy google is following?

that's why i started by using several accounts... and then, it was to much work.

#2 Right
Seems coherent, and I agree with you, hope that Google is applying these rules !

#4 Same Server but dedicated Ip?
Hi,
you mentioned: "Do you host all these websites on the same server? Then google knows the IP, and is likely to consider that it’s the same webmaster behind."
What if the sites are on the same server but all of them have dedicated IP with different C Class ranges? Do you think Google still considers it as the same webmaster?
#5 They might if it's only a c
They might if it's only a c class different ip. I guess you bought your ip's to the same reseller, which is already a hint for them. But they cannot know for sure. they probably use it as an element. You could also have two websites and put one in New York and the other one in Beijing for example ;o)
