There are some domain registrars which will do this for free with you but that means transferring your names across. I can't think of nay off the top of my head but a quick google will help you.

You can also use a discount code to cut the price down quite a bit. One of these will give you really cheap privacy: GDBB776 or gdz532a. I just can't remember which one I used.

NameCheap & Name.com offer private who is. You may switch there

There is no other way on Godaddy for this. But many other domain comapanies offer whois private service for free, so switch them could solve the problem. I don't know any blackhat strategies, so I never worried about whois.

I paid for the privacy thing on godaddy... Then the website went to #2 on Google. Talk about backfire, wish SEO was that easy when I try.

I don't use my name on some of my domains when I reg them. I use a dba (doing business as) name. Where godaddy asks for my name I put in my initials. Under that I use my dba name. When I insert the dba name the godaddy registration form pops up some check boxes which, in essense, ask if I have authority to use my dba name. Of course I do. I use my address for the rest of the form's questions. The post office has been informed that I use the dba name, so any snail mail (rare) addressed to my dba name gets delivered to me.
