Can anyone tell me if it is common practice to do link building to the IP of the domain name instead of just the url?

I've never heard of such a thing. What would be the purpose? And what happens when you move to a different host - you've lost the link?

thats what i thought but a friend is using an SEO company and i am moving a site for him and the SEO company said he needs to keep the IP as they have done backlinking using the IP, which i have never heard of either. They said its common practice hence me asking here as i have never heard of it either :).

an SEO company a client is using has told him that. I told him it isnt common practice so he is now asking questions to them.

Sounds like they don't want to loose a client.

I think you are right mally on that one. I have told him the responces ive had and he is going to have it out with them.
