Question by Minestoned: Does listing your name in whois do better for Google page rank?
A lot of domain registrars provide a privacy service, so you dont have to put your own name and phone no. in whois records. If i wanted to rise faster in Google page rank, i wonder which is better, or if it makes a difference at all?

Answer by Mr Simpson
Depends what the website is for.. If you are planning and selling something then don’t opt for the privacy because people will check and if you opted for privacy you usually have something to hide..

Regarding the page rank I had a private domain and it ranked 2nd for my keyword. So from personal experience it shouldn’t make a difference..

Incoming links are important and people will link to good content and a honest website.

Question by skitzil: Is a listing in the Yahoo! Directory still valuable in terms of Search Engine Optimization?
I’m considering the option of listing my website in the Yahoo! Directory. Before handing over 9, I’d like to know if it still has high value to search engine algorithms. I have heard that DMOZ.org has lost a bit of value recently, with the advent of social bookmark sites. If that is true, has anyone heard the same regarding the Yahoo! Directory?

Thanks!

well the yahoo directory doesnt give you a direct link to your site, so you dont get the seo benefit of that link.

It doesnt hurt, but is it worth it……. I honestly didnt see any changes to my traffic after trying it, and I still have less pages in yahoo than any other search engine.
