Re: Googlebad

Whenever you interact with a website, you are giving data such as your IP address and browser info, and maybe picking up some cookies if you haven't turned off this feature. All this is hard to avoid but harmless.

You can opt out of advertising, targeted or not, by using software that blocks unwanted servers, such as Adblock Plus or a customized hosts file.

Gmail and similar services are a special case. You have to register, login and accept cookies to use the service. If you use the same company's sites for searches or other services (e.g. Yahoo search and Yahoo mail), they will probably together all the data on your actions on the sites, and mail contents etc., into a profile.
