Google Tracking

["Kristian Erik Hermansen" <kristian.hermansen () gmail com>]

It appears to me that Google has the ability to know nearly all the
sites you have visited because many larger web presences utilize
Google Analytics.  What this means is that Google is continually
compiling data on every visitor across the Internet.  If they like,
they should have the ability to tie this to any Google services
account you operate.  Thus, perhaps they can search your Google user
id and see nearly all the web sites you have ever visited across the
Internet (not necessarily using their search engine, mind you).
Pretty cool, or scary, depending on which side of the fence you sit.

Now, correct me if I am wrong here, but I would like to hear from
anyone who utilizes Google Analytics and believes this is not the
case.  Does the EULA suggest that Google is not tracking users across
the entire Internet?  Just a random though I had.  Maybe this is
widely known and everyone has taken proactive measures to hide this
data from Google already.  It is merely as simple as blocking the
domain.  Maybe there is a more elegant way to do it?
