Re: Web Host Choice and Search Engine Ranking

Fallacy.  If you are on a shared server that involves many poker,
pills and sex sites, you are likely to be panelised based on some
recently-filed  patents,  which may or may not  imply  something.
This,  in fact, is the reason why there are hosts that are desig-
nated for sites with 'filthy' content.

It could. If both places contain the same information, be sure to
re-direct  from the old to the new (in various places), thus  in-
forming  the crawlers that there is a migration -- neither a mir-
ror nor content scraping.
