Google is one of the Internet's darlings, universally loved by just about everyone. Everyone, that is, but webmasters who've had their domain networks wiped from Google's results. Some sites deserve it and some don't, but the bottom line is that a Google hit doesn't have to be devastating.
Read on to find out how you can segment your domain network so that Google can't take your entire portfolio down in one fell swoop.
Identity

Use these methods to segment and conceal your identity.

- I don't really understand these things and as of this writing I haven't even started a blog to test all these stuff out so if there's anyone out there who can communicate some of these to a non-techie, the help would be well appreciated.

Keep separate ventures separate. Don't try to mash your cooking blog, Web-design site and photography business all into the same space. Create separate legal entities for each, and you'll not only be safe from Google, you'll also be more organized.

- The link seems to just imply that the lesser the sites one owns the better because more focus can be put into a specific site which sounds like it's besides the point of what the article texts are saying if not wholly contradictory.
  
  While cutting sites up into categories would be one way of organizing several sites, it would also increase the number of blogs one has to manage and market. It's not a bad idea, I just don't get the relevance between it and the page linked to it. Thanks to anyone who can explain the connection there.

Don't list all of your domains together. Have you listed all of your domains on your résumé and put said résumé online where it can be found by Google? You've just handed over a cheat sheet. Don't make this blunder or a similar mistake — never list all of your domains in the same place.

- This is the first I've heard of this before and sounds like it's leaning more towards paranoia than effectiveness.
  
  I know it sounds weird commenting about paranoia on a list designed for people wearing tin foil hats but usually the tone I get from reading stuff like these is that it's more aimed towards effective anonymity (emphasis on effective) than random paranoia.
  
  Especially in an age of social networking, I do question the use of this. Even if one does not list all their domains in one place, wouldn't contact details in Gmail or any other Google Services be enough?

Log out of Google. When visiting your own sites, make sure that you're logged out of Google services. It doesn't hurt to run through a few different proxies, either.
Domains and Private Registration

One of the easiest ways to connect your domain network is by checking out your WHOIS information. Here's how to muddy the waters.
Know that Google is in on private registration. It's been discussed that Google probably has access to private registration data, so doing this may offer little help.

- From a link in the previous highlights:
  
  Private registration can lead to your mail being blocked by a lot of people, so I wouldn’t necessarily agree with that method.

- If Google can see the private registration info, then it’s not private and a lot of people are being ripped off because they are paying for a service they are not receiving. It also means that domain registrars are falsely advertising their service.
