    Do you know if Google is tracking your Web activity? If you have a Google account (for, say, Gmail) and have not specifically located and paused the Web History setting, then the search giant is keeping track of your searches and the sites you visited. This data has been separated from other Google products, but on March 1 it will be shared across all of the Google products you use when Google's new privacy policy goes into effect.

    If you'd like to prevent Google from combining this potentially sensitive data with the information it has collected from your YouTube, Google+, and other Google accounts, you can remove your Web History and stop it from being recorded moving forward.



    After signing into your Google account, type https://www.google.com/history into your browser. (Alternatively, you can choose Account Settings from the pull-down menu in the upper-right corner of a Google product such as Gmail, Google+, or Google.com. From the Account Settings page, scroll down to the Services header and click on the "Go to web history" link.) If your Web History is enabled, you'll see a list of recent searches and sites visited. Click the gray Remove all Web History button at the top of the page and a subsequent OK button to clear your Web History.

    Just the way I like it, empty and paused.

    This action also pauses the Web History feature so that it will no longer track your Web searches and whereabouts. If you'd like to fire it back up, simply click the blue Resume button.

    I Can't Imagine The Power of Google, it's now stronger and knows everything about everyone.
    Leave your reply and show me your opinion.

    Good Luck to every one,

    Good advice for those using the web history.
    Also it is a good idea to opt-out from it when you are signed out from your G. account via this link google.com/history/optout

    That's right, also it's "Must Do" if you have suspended from one of it's services and want to create a new profile

    I haven't actually suspended from any Google's services, but still I do not like my searches to be tracked and get results according them...
    This might be somehow useful service for the casual users of the SE's, but I do not think it is good for webmasters and/or Internet marketers like us :)

    I think this it is risk free as long as Google doesnt selling those information to third party.

    that's right, but most of it's customers was approved on the rule of receiving promotions from third parties ( ex. you can see this when you make a new gmail account )
    i think that's mean google will send a promotions to it's customers in the future!
