Fact or Fiction - Does Google Penalize Sites That Use Private Registration? | Warrior Forum - The #1 Digital Marketing Forum & Marketplace

No, they do not. In fact, they don't seem to use registration information at all in their mainline algorithms although they probably use it from time to time for secondary research and analysis.

Thanks

That would suck, cause my domains are private... I don't want some creepers or someone who holds a grudge with me online to find me just like that :/.

I do come across quite a few sites making such a statement that Google penalize sites that use private registration.

However I have not come across any evidence to substantial it.

What's the warning about blocked WHOIS mean?

So my question is, "Does Google Penalize Sites That Use Private Registration?"

Thanks for your input.

All The Very Best,

  Google is registrar and can access the root records anyway so to them there is no "privacy"

  Would you please care to explain how will Google do that ?
  
  I don't think so since they are not into domain business like Verisign etc.
  
  Thanks

This is a fiction.
Google won't ever do this because their terms of services.
Read it carefully and you'll see why.
Thank you!

Thanks

I don't see why they would. I would say that is highly unlikely. It wouldn't make sense.

Definitely not. It just wouldn't make any sense. There are plenty of legitimate reasons for wishing to have a private registration, and why the heck should that affect your rankings?

Thanks
