Google’s John Mueller mentioned on Reddit “no” WhoisGuard, the NameCheap area privateness setting, doesn’t affect your search engine marketing or rankings on Google. Google doesn’t care for those who use area privateness settings or not while you register your area title.
The query was:
Does Whois Guard have an effect on search engine marketing?
I’ve been studying about spammers normally utilizing whois guard, so Google tends to present extra belief to web sites not hiding their data on whois. So I attempted to not use WIguard. I used to be spammed to hell in a matter of days, and what considerations me essentially the most, is that my telephone quantity and full title are on show. Rookie transfer – I do know. So I activated the guard on namecheap now, and hopefully my particulars will vanish quickly. What I am questioning is: is there any reality in regards to the whois guard/search engine marketing correlation?
John responded briefly “no.”
I believe many area title registrars now default the whois privateness setting to on, to scale back e mail spam to their clients.
Easy sufficient.
