With google having access to registrar information and server IPs and linking patterns, as you create sites do you think about your long term reputation with google?

    Well there's no need to really think much about it, but I guess I do subconsciously consider my reputation with them, and thus I always aim to keep my stuff unique and of quality, and do my SEO properly.

    Just focus on quality content with good healthy SEO, and you'll naturally be in their good books. Avoid blackhat tactics like the plague.

    this is a myth. All evidence i have seen indicates that whois privacy information rests with the registrar that provided the privacy. Google violating whois privacy for reasons beyond being a registrar (purposes of their search engine) would open them up to lawsuits. I see no reason why or how IPs could identify you or all your linking patterns

      No it is not. Google has access to the Whois API given to registrars meaning they can query the info for any domain. Heck, I have access to the Whois API for a more limited number of queries.

          I don't know exactly what google can see with private registration but in your example it is obvious that your link can be found with other blog comments meant just for rankings on a non-editorially reviewed page. Like I see you have found that you can get a high PR link on nature.com, brooklynvegan.com or nationaljournal.com. If I can find this in two minutes, and I find the link interspersed with lots of other "blog commenters" using the same tactic, Google's algorithm will have no trouble either.

          Can they draw other relationships too?

          For example, I can see other "article" sites on the same IP address.

          I can also see you did the google site verification. Were you protecting your IP address when you did that?

          Then of course you are running Google Analytics on every page.

          Google knows all about you.

            How about the opposite?

            How about having a track record of doing great things,
            building authority, rank, trust, etc. So if google is
            going to check, somehow, (and I don't believe they
            care much) then it seems anything else you touch would
            be golden in their eyes.

            If google is going to trail bad people, why not trail good people?

            IPw would be a nonissue. I'd hate for someone to do something bad
            on one IP, then by chance, sometime else gets the same one and
            wants to do good....too many intangibles for IP theory.

            If you mean site server, well, the internet runs a lot of stuff
            on shared servers. Including the WF.

            If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    Depends, some registrars/providers can protect your private data from being displayed publicly under whois. Some offer whois privacy for free while others require an annual fee.


    Depending on the laws from the country where you're in, only a court order/summon can compel those isp's/hosts/providers from disclosing your information.
