How does Google rank sites which run on non-standard ports?

[artcancro]

This answer isn't really helpful. We aren't looking for a discussion of the relative merits of running on port 80 vs. some other port. We know that already. What we want to know is whether or not Google will penalize a site's search ranking for appearing on a non standard port number.

Dear Google. I hurts when I urinate. What do you intend to do about this?

Ahem...come on! What is the use case for using a non-standard port? I have much better questions like er, subdomains. I run a community site and permit subdomains per user for vanity domains for instance. Rank that hmm?

You can change the default port in Apache! You need to change the listen directive in the config file.

@lazyd0g Thanks for the update buddy, i wasn't aware that you couldn't set the standardport to X on apache ie i thought it would be as simple as Listen 90 etc You learn something new everyday.

You could set 90 as the default port, leave google out of it and go towards apache.
