Page 2 - Is google able read Who-is info if we hide it?

yes

*sigh*... OK...

You should hide half, at various different domain proxies, and i would also not hide the other half and have various names and different locations world wide. I'm sure you can have someone sit there and do this if you are paying to do all the rest.

Also the designs should be completely different. Having the same html profile will be a dead give away. changing the sames of the CSS can also be a footprint. Just dont over do making the different as for instance, having 123.css and 5354.css will cause a footprint. keep that as style.css as most people use it. But generally just make sure if you look at all of them would you think they were all owned by the same company. Thats the key.

I doubt i can dissuade you so may as well give fair advice.

I am thinking big... How will you be able to get links to all of these websites. How will i make sure they are fresh... I can think big but you are just thinking too big... IMO

Thank you all for your input but this thread is going no where, moderators please delete or end this thread.

Thanks,

I disagreed with your post above and thought I would give a longer explanation.

You asked 'If I am creating 1,200 web sites should I hide the whois info'
I believe several people directly addressed that issue.
However, this legitimately brings up the question of why the **** you want to create 1,200 web sites in the first place. You have said it is for 'reputation management' that it will address multiple countries/languages and that all will be hand written by multiple people with great content.

So say we have 5 people per site. Each puts in an average of 2 weeks of time. That sounds like about enough to make a very minimal site but potentially one with at least a little useful unique content.
That would be 6,000 man weeks of labor.
Now say we have one person spend on day a week for 3 months building links for each site.
That is another 3,120 man weeks of labor
So now you have 1,200 sites that are essentially minimal and you have spent almost 10k man weeks on it. Not counting all the costs associated with registering and hosting 1,200 sites.

The obvious question is, for that kind of investment couldn't you create 1 site or even 5-10 sites in different languages that would be a hell of a lot better and have much more chance of ranking?

What is your maintenance plan for 1,200 sites?
What are the hosting costs?

And why in the hell does your client need 1,200 sites for "reputation management" even KBR could clean up their rep for less.

please

its true ain't it? this guy's making some good money off this project. Why would he care about all the advice given? He is certainly not going to let go of this project.

Hey guyz plz let it go...

thanks

It seems the OP is genuine in his belief that he is following a proper COA or better said, I don't think he is a bad person.

Probably in over his head a bit, but who am I to say? Like most of you we just call it like we see it.

If this strategy worked though, wouldn't Geico, godaddy, FMC, Kernelpanic () all have 1200 websites for the purpose of dominating the market? Probably.

seo-top-ranked: don't get frustrated with our advice, most of us are here to promote effective SEO through the exchange of ideas, we want you to do well because when you do, we all benefit in some way. But when we see one of our own following a course of action that looks dodgy, we'll say so!

At the end of the day hopefully we've made a few bucks and are set up to make a few more tomorrow. Good luck!

ok

So you were not given the answers you wanted so you deleted all your posts. That's mature.

Instead of thanking people for taking the time to respond and politely disagreeing, you took your ball and went home. Now the purpose of this forum has been defeated because nobody else will be able to learn from the information provided.

meh

If you looked at my posts, i thanked everyone that responded but people were going crazy and were not reading my original post or question and responding negatively, what else do you expect me to do?

I think I haven explained everything properly, but I dont like to discuss this openly, however I would like some suggestions from the experienced people here, would send PMs, is that ok?

I understand completely! Like you I have been the one standing alone in my opinion. It's not fun.

However I must say that I am a better SEO provider for the critisizm, and after the initial frustration was over and I was able to turn the window into a mirror and look inward instead of outward I learned a great deal.

Best of luck to you, I look forward to both sharing my experiences with you and learning from you in the future.

Damn brother, let it go. Your strategy is whack.

Yeah hide your who-is. It might buy you some time.

Edited to add: Stop deleting and changing your posts. Sheese!
