Whois Information

[Shawn Gossman1]

How do you list your Whois Information?

Do you use a privacy feature that keeps information private?

If you put public information, do you include your actual street address?

I have privacy enabled on the domains that allow it. From my understanding, if you have a .US domain, you can't use privacy on it... so I simply use my P.O. Box for the address.
Similar to my phone number... I use my Google Voice number for it.

I typically always use it.

John Mueller of Google says it doesn't impact your SEO ranking.

However, I saw a video by Google saying that having too many domains on the same server using Whois Privacy could be a red flag for Google for potential spam. That might cause an automatic ranking factor, and then it might not.

Like I said, I typically always use it and haven't really noticed any issues from it, personally.
