There is the 1/200 chance that you are getting a very dirty dedicated IP (probably not, as then the shared IP's at your host would be dirty as well and you would have had trouble rising to number one) and that you will take a dip until Google realises that a clean site is now on that former malware or porn IP. You can do a check against that IP to find out who was there via various online services: * You can get basic info here about the current info for the IP: http://www.infosniper.net/?ip_address=96.30.44.71 * You do an historical check here: http://www.domaintools.com/hosting-history/ For the second link you have to become a member and sign up for a $15/month plan. I've used the paid service on occasion when working on sensitive or high budget projects. The dedicated IP should only improve your situation.
