Thanks for helping, I searched on the forum for like half an hour and didn't find anything.

So I have a mixture of sites that I'm messing around with, I've got
-squeaky clean white hat sites
-some of them are a little further on the scale where I have paid contextual links, second tier xrumer blasts, etc.
- and some of them are just churn and burn sites that I directly blast with xrumer/scrapebox/giant fully closed, completely linear link wheels, mostly to just see how far I can push the envelope.

Two questions
1. If I use google webmaster tools on the "blackhat" sites, will google be more likely to discount my links?
2. If I use GWT on both my churn-and-burns AND on my other longer term, whitehat / greyhat sites, when my churn-and-burns are discovered and discounted by Google, will that negatively affect the rest of the websites in the same GWT account?

If I'm being overly paranoid, tell me so, because I'm really interested in checking out the stats for my blackhat sites, but for some reason I'm nervous that associating them with my other websites would be bad. Thoughts?
 


To tell you the truth, google can't just distinguish a legit site from a "blackhat" site. There's no such thing.

If you are good at covering your tracks why not give it a try. It's just robots spidering your site anyways.
 
From my experience GWT tools will only help. Use it to set up preferred domain, fix crawl errors, fetch as googlebot and submit for indexing, check impressions, check kw's (how G sees your site) etc.

I am yet to see any evidence of anyone using GWT and that being the cause of any kind of penalty. People are often just quick to blame something like GWT for their careless mistakes.

If you're paranoid and want to err on the side of caution then you can set up different GWT accounts for each of your sites and clear your browser cache/history/private data often.
 
Get separate accounts for each important websites.At least one for all white hat and one each for all black hats.
Manual reviewing does happen.It typically affects Adsense accounts. But why take chance?
 
Webamster tool is good to find some basic errors like duplicate titles, descriptionn, find some links pointing to wrong urls etc. I advice to create separate webmaster account for each website to be safe for now and future.
 
there is a lot of google paranoia out there. I think it is unwarranted unless it is completely obvious what you are doing.
