Does a dedicated IP address help my search engine rankings?

Dedicated IP address is not an imperative to get top search engine ranking. Many websites with top search engine ranking are using shared web hosting plans. It means that they are sharing the same IP address with other webmasters with low search engine ranking.

However, if your IP address is shared with many search engine spammers, your site´s ranking can be adversely affected. Therefore, some search engine marketers prefer to get a dedicated IP address from their web hosts.

I personally feel dedicated IPs still help. As you said there are spammers everywhere and search engines care a lot for spam. If they find a IP with too much spam sites hosted definetely they are gonna boot you out of the index, but its very rare when it comes to search engine optimization.
