Brisbane tip for today.

\\n

And it's about whois. So there's

\\n

a service on the internet,

\\n

that's known as whois.

\\n

And you can go there and put in a

\\n

website address, and find out who is the owner

\\n

of that website. And we're it's hosted for instance.

\\n

Now, that information can be made private,

\\n

so none of it actually shows up.

\\n

Or it can be public, so that it does show up.

\\n

And Google treats private

\\n

whois information as suspicious. 

\\n

And public whois information as genuine.

\\n

So if you want to have that little extra piece

\\n

of a genuine signal to Google,

\\n

then make sure that your whois information is public.
