I don't have a lot experience but I am certain that this is very important factor. I have just realised why my site went down from 10th postion to 80th!!! I am not joking. I was on free server and the service was free 'for ever'. When I changed IP address of the site, and paid domain for 1 year it went down. Regards, Vjeko from Croatia. Hi to all!

I always only pay for a year in advance cause I figure I can't trust the registrars for too long a period of time. Would you please share the source of the info, if there is one? Thanks a lot!
