Anyone privatize their whois information? Or had any troubles re ranking.

I've had a quick google search, and the only thing I could see was matt cutts saying it could 'raise a flag' but that was about it.

I've done it on some domains, mainly because I don't like reverse whois tools, but not all.

I've set some private, and some not. It doesn't seem to make any difference to ranking.

use private if you dont want to disclose your personal information to public :)

No there is absolutely nothing wrong using the Whois privacy options. Please note that is has received green light from the ICANN otherwise this service could not be enabled. Besides, the information is only hidden from the whois queries done by people and authorities and ICANN have access to them whenever they like.
