Is it safe to link all my sites under ahrefs webmaster tool?

Whats the point in having them separate in ahrefs. You are a webmaster managing multiple sites.
Its not google, so you don't have to worry about them using data against you.

Hi,

I have heard a lot of legends about google and how they can identify you as owner of all your websites and if that happen your website can be banned. That is why I am trying to avoid it and I have separated accounts for my google search consoles.
Today I made account with ahrefs webmaster tool and I quite like it, there is possibility to link more sites. Would you go for it, or is it dangerous, maybe I should link each site under different account. What do you think?
I don't mean to link my GSC into Ahrefs I mean adding website manually.
Thank you in advance.

No I have several sites in similar niche, one of my website seems to be somehow penalized, because I pointed that site to other my site and I was using same account for google analytics. Nowadays I have more sites, but this one site is ranking in china like crazy and google still don't give a fuck. So I assume this google legend is true and I don't believe Ahrefs too. So I just ask.

The worst thing that could happen is that you leave a footprint while using the same verification code,
If the websites are not linked to each other, I doubt you'll have any problems unless one of the domains get penalized (not quiet sure what will happen here)

if you want to avoid such a footprint, just use the file verification process and remove it as soon as you get verified,
this way, there's no possible way that google can get your domains linked together with the ahrefs code

Thanks for reply, you are right, ahrefs generate always the same id for one account, that could be footprint for google, best would be add other sites via html file, then delete it.

Never done it with Ahrefs, but for GSC, I had one site hit with a penalty and the other sites tied to the same account were not impacted by this.
