Can Big Brother (Google) identify owners of Protected WHOIS websites?

by Mr Mojo Risin

I'm a bit paranoid about losing SEO rankings for the many websites I own and have purchased. It would be catastrophic to my business.

Almost all of them are privately registered domains, and I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether Google can easily identify all the websites I own by seeing beyond the private WHOIS registrations.

I am trying to prevent that.

Why am I paranoid about it? Because I own several affiliate sites that recommend my own products, which is obviously biased.

    Google is a registrar so I would say they can. However, I doubt you have much to worry about. They don't look at people that closely.

    totally correct.

    I have PR sites which I bought and not protected and they keep the PR anyway.
    Don't get scared too fast
