So I'm looking to create a mini network of sites mainly for seo purposes. I plan on buying domain privacy so that google doesn't know that I own the network. And to kill two birds with one stone, I'm also considering adding in some amazon affiliate product.

Can google track a webmaster by their affiliate ID?

    I would imagine yes.
    Just make a new tracking ID for each site. Problem solved.

    Perhaps an attic I shall seek.

      Crazy. I didn't know that you could have more than one tracking ID. That is a beautiful piece of information. Thanks Brian!

    Is their any hesitation in having more than one tracking IDs?

    Yes they can...and many other ways as well. They can see past domain privacy as well as linking them if they are all on the same IP, nameservers or hosting even.

    This is the part most people mess up, if you are building networks like this you need seperate c-class IP's seperate hosting and depending how far you go sperate registration accounts.

      Thanks for commenting. This is the part I really do not want to mess up. I'm not too concerned with google seeing past domain privacy. Because even though they do have access to that information, it's illegal for them to use it. I don't think google would incorporate something illegal into their algorithm. I could be wrong though.

      I do have a few separate c-class hosting accounts. My plan would be to backlink from a different c-class to another.

      I'm not planning on building a huge network. Just a small high pr domains to point at my money sites. I'm going to take the advice you've given me as well as use multiple tracking Id's. Hopefully, my network will remain safe.

    Exactly knows only Google As for me, I try to make sites of network maximally different - ip's, affiliate id's, domen owners, google webmaster tools account and so on.
    I even decide to change google analytics to piwik at my affiliate shops
