Google your name and see what you could have been!

Other preferences that I like to set are to turn off Google’s SafeSearch filtering (I’m a big boy) and to open results in a different window. For some searches I find that temporarily turning Safe Search to the max weeds out a LOT of bottom-feeding garbage masquerating as legitimate websites.

Google your name and see what you could have been! LOL.
I've done that before, but since I have a fairly uncommon name, some of my own genealogy web postings were among the first results.

From your link
The problem with the Toolbar is that, if the app's advanced features are running, Google also keeps a record of every single site you visit
Just use the Google toolbar but not the Advanced features if you are concerned. And from Google's toolbar privacy statement:
Use of the Advanced Features of the Google Toolbar requires that information about the sites you visit be sent to Google. This is needed to make these features possible. With all advanced features disabled, no information about the sites you visit will be communicated to Google.
Google respects and protects the privacy of the individuals that use the Google Toolbar. To learn more about the privacy protections we have built into the system, please read our Toolbar privacy policy.
You can select which advanced features you wish to use below or on the Toolbar options page. To learn more about each of the advanced features, consult the Toolbar button help page.

Where on google do you go to see the most popular searches? I remember shortly after 9\11 seeing a google chart on the number of times that Nostradamus was searched, along with a few other keywords. I've forgotten where on google that info is kept. Thanks!

Excellent advice. I went to preferences and up my count to 50 and to open each page in a new window. I had been using the 'right click' and selecting Open in a new window. It is much easier when automated.
I checked my web site with a search for "Varmint Al" and I must be doing something correct on my pages. It sure got a lot of listings.
Good Hunting... from Varmint Al
To: Hatteras
I did. Seems I've been at FR.
Who woulda thunk it?

Google your phone number and get ready to be startled ... I did. It wasn't very startling. All I got was a directory result, listing - surprise - me!

[I] was directed by Google to humorist Madeleine Kane—a strange choice, on the face of it. But it turns out that Madeleine’s politics and mine are incredibly aligned...Kane is an avid Bush hater and so-so humorist.
