How do you hide your identity from Google

[adder]

Hi,

I managed to grab a high PR website and the idea is that I would link from this website to a couple of my old sites that are lagging in the tail to give them a much needed boost.

I have different hosting accounts so I can even host the High PR outside my country. Still, it is a fact that Google snoops around the WHOIS info. If I add privacy to my domain registration, is it safe that GG would not know who is the owner of the domain name?

Otherwise there is not much point for John to link to John's other site because GG would know it anyway :)

What is your opinion?

I've heard that Google is a registrar so they can get the info or have ways of figuring/finding it out.

So basically I cannot benefit from this high PR site directly? Leaves me an option to monetize on text links anyway

So basically, you bought a domain to try to game the system and now you are worried that Google may find out about it, so you want some advice on how to keep Google from findng out that you're trying to game it?

Aside from that, if the sites are related, go ahead and link. If they're not related, they shouldn't be linking in the first place. It all goes back to the litmus test: would the sites link either or both ways without any consideration about Google?
