Whois and Seo
 

Is it a good idea to hide your whois info from the search engines so they cant see what domains are owned by the same person?

Please discuss

Forgot biz thread warning

i just do it so the whackos don't have my personal info. I've never heard of any benefits to enabling whois guard in regards to SEO

Anyone know of a registar that has free whois guard

akways hide your whois info

ipower has free whois privacy, registerfly does too

so does namecheap

Maybe it is a good idea to spread your sites on different hosters so you get IPs in different ranges. But hiding Whois for SEO? Doesn't that go to far? But IMHO it is a good idea to use it to protect your privacy :2 cents:

registerfly has it for free. used to be .99

Sweet thanks for all the help

I have a feeling it may play a role, after all Google didn't become a registrar for the hell of it. The only ways I can conceive of in which an engine like Google could correlate multiple domains to the same owner is via DNS and NIC information in the whois. Not sure what people like Google are doing with this information, but I doubt they're using DNS alone to determine who owns what...
