A Bad Host can Affect your Keyword Ranking

I've been working on a website for a client for over 2 years trying to get his 3 main keyword phrases to page one with generic ranking to no avail. Cleaning up the code helped a lot and slowly gathering links helped some but all 3 phrases were lagging around page 3 on Google, UNTIL he moved his site off the host.

One week after he moved the site, all 3 phrases started slowly climbing higher than ever, breaking all past records, one of which just jumped to the first page and is still climbing. This was not due to submitting to sites that allow anchor text either because I've never used one of the terms in anchor text. This is a rank increase affecting the whole site. Currently there are no competitors above this site now, only Wiki, CNN and another useless site featuring the same keywords.

There are no new links pointing at this site so that's not the reason for this jump either. It can only be because of extricating the site from that bad host. This major leap to the top of Google's results means 2 years of effort were put on hold due to a bad host.

I won't mention the name of the old host to protect the guilty, however it rhymes with High Tower.

If you want to see a host that I recommend see my article on hosting scams.
