Hi Chase,
Thanks for reading and your comment. I personally have not heard of Google taking it to that level. But if you owned 100 domains with good quality content and unique design, I would be careful how and if you interlink these sites. This is where you might encounter issues with Google…

Here’s a question for you. Does Google calculate in their rankings domains that are owned by the same person? For example, if Andy owns 100 different domains and hosts them on different IP addresses he is cool. But will Google look at the Whois data on all those domains and see that they are all owned by the same person?

The short answer is it does not affect serach engine rankings. I registered many private domains via yohost.org and had no issues with the rankings.
