I have tried to find information on this but was not able to find anything so far. So basically I have been adding links to multiple sites (10+) but I am trying to determine if my efforts are being wasted. The positive is that these sites all have unique IP addresses. The negative is that these sites all have the same whois email. Some also have similar whois addresses, but not exactly the same, but similar. Thanks in advance for your advice in this matter.
I wouldn't say you're wasting your time. Google might be able to spot something fishy (same email in the whois information) but if we're talking about 10-20 sites it won't be a problem at all. Make sure you don't have all the domains on the same Google Analytics account or same AdSense account for example. That would be far worse than having the same email in the whois.
And also make sure you uninstall all Google app, (G Toolbar, G Desktop...) from the computer that you manage these domains!
Why is that? Why does Google care if you have 20 different sites with different IP addresses and use the same Google Analytics account? Or Adsense? I didn't think you could have more than one Adsense account or Analytics account.
Hey adirectory, Thanks for your suggestion. What about using Google Documents to manage all your sites and SEO etc... Do you think they will use that info in there also?
Hey zexy, thanks for your input. Is there any way I can check to see if they are using the same google analytics or adsense account? thanks
