How to cover your footprint

A "blog network" sounds a lot like a link wheel to me. People say these don't work, all I know is I did it in my niche over the past five years and I have dominated in my niche and I am no expert. I have more than one host but most of my domains are in my name. I have several domains using a shared hosting account. (A handful of hosting accounts.) Some say you don't want Google to be able to see your footprint. How do you cover that up?

For instance, using different registrars, yes, you can do that. But whose name do you put it in if it's only you working by yourself? Or could you buy "private" registration where it hides your name, using the registrar's name and address, does that work? What about hosting, do you have to get separate hosts, all with a dedicated IP? How do people pull this off? Is there someone who teaches this technique?

        Some people teach various techniques and others split test like crazy to find out what works. It can be easy to be mislead by rumor or speculation based information so testing for yourself is the best way.

        A properly constructed blog network is nothing like a link wheel btw. That's essentially a tenant of what not to do with a blog network. If you want it to last, of course

    I don't know why you think a blog network sounds like a link wheel, but anyway the answers to your questions are as follows:

    -Get private whois for each of your domains
    -Different C-class IPs for each domain
    -Don't interlink properties
    -Profit

      In another thread asking what is a blog network, here was an answer: "It's a network of privately owned websites, built for the purpose of building backlinks to one or multiple money sites."

      That's what I recall a link wheel being, essentially.

      "Don't interlink properties" -- what does that mean?

        Nope, you're thinking about it the wrong way. A link wheel links the properties that are pointing to your money site together to "pass on" link juice. A blog network is more like a wheel with no rubber that touches the ground, all spokes and nothing to connect each property to the other properties in your network.
