176.185. Each website on the Web is actually an IP address and the domain name (like example.com) takes us to that IP address.
One spammy, black hat SEO tactic that some people have used is buying many domain names and making websites that all link to a different website that they're trying to boost the SEO and rankings of. It's easiest to just buy an entire block of IP address, in a C-block.
Search engines have caught on to this tactic and they are leary of websites that have tons of inbound links from websites all in the same C-block of IP addresses.
