Actually they (Google) can because Google is a licensed domain registrar.

I cant see how if you pull the who is on this domain it come up with domain by proxy. You cant see who owns this website.

"Whois" is for those who are not licensed registrar, i.e, most people/the general public. However, a licensed registrar like GoDaddy can look up who the domain owner is, even if the information is hidden from the general public. Since Google is a licensed registrar, they can find out who the domain owner is EVEN IF the information is hidden from the public.

Ah, I didn't know that. That kind of puts a wrench in the works. I would have a friend or family member register the new domain then. Chances are if they get a hint of you renaming the domain just to get around the ban. They may just ban you again.

I don't know ...

1. I'd need to get that domain eventually ...

2. Domain owner should be me if I run any revenue sharing program like AdSense.

This is kind of tricky.

Ya your right its tricky. Your taking a big chance of getting the website banned all over again even if you make the changes. Are you married? If so I would put it in your wifes name. Then you could give it 6 months or so and push the domain to your account.

As long as the new site does not have the same content problems, google will take no notice of the redirect. The reason they don't take notice is, imagine of I had a grudge against someone or was competing against their site. I could very easily register a domain with the contact details of the competing site. Then purposely get it banned from google. Redirecting this site to my competitor would then get them dropped by google.

That said, it would still be a black mark against the site, and would be counted in that respect. As long as it is not the only source of traffic for the new domain, you shuold be OK. I would, however, advise you to get the new domain listed in google before doing the redirect, and to ensure that it has some good, safe incoming links.
