Protecting Whois and Google SEO

So, as far the discussion goes, it leads to a decision, that it won't effect much, anyways, my registrar offered it for free. So i was thinking of using it, but as it won't effect much, i am not very excited.

 

I really wonder if they practice this though, or if it is just some theory they patented and have never used.

Seems odd you could buy legitimacy for $20-$50.

I mean someone who buys a domain for 8 years is probably spending $40. Not exactly the marker of some kind of stable business.

 

I haven't had any direct experience from this, but I would also advise anyone who considers proxying their whois information to do it with very careful consideration. You give up significant rights and put yourself at significant risk. If your domain has any value you to you at all I would really resist doing it.

If you really want to hide your information, get a mail drop, form an assumed name company in your area and get a skype phone number in some other city. Throw those together and you got enough to keep most people confused enough. On top of it you will retain ownership of your domain, which I believe is fairly significant.

 

Exactly my point, aeiouy.

Google hasn't made a habit of relying on ranking factors that are absurdly easy to manipulate. I don't see any reason to believe they're going to start now...

 

I'm not shure but there might be some legal implications in using made up information. Please check before doing.

 

Are you sure about that?

I'd say that 90% of the factors in the Google algo (And that of any other SE for that matter) are "absurdly easy to manipulate".

Registering a domain via DBP or supplying false registration is no more difficult than sending off a link exchange request email or spamming a few blog comments.

Google rely on the knowledge of the majority of webmasters being insufficient to know exactly how to accomplish these things. DBP is no different.

I think this proves my point.
Bob is clearly a knowledgable guy, but his expertise doesn't happen to stretch that far in this particular instance.

This is what Google rely's on.

 

For registerfly, they say they'll just remove the whois protection in the event of any problems. I don't know why Godaddy actually gives up registration quickly as Shoemoney mentioned...

If you are so consern it's really easy to get a dedicated ip for your sites, a lot of reseller plans will offer this, and then all your sites are on your own ip, safe from other peoples sites.

now if you are doing bad SEO techniques in your sites, you should learn more about how the dark arts work.

BTW its cheaper to get a new hosting account with its own ip that most proxy registrations.

 

The theory originated with the google patent that was filed. Smokescreen as far as i am concerned.

 

i am not doing black hat seo but want to know more about it.
