Leaving footprints

[gtgpua]

I just realized that i created a gmail account in the name of my company. All of the legal docs on my sites also have the name of my company, ie privacy policy, disclaimer, contact us etc. I have a list of all of the sites that Im running in this gmail account on excel sheets.

Also, i have all of my google analytics attached to this main gmail account with all of my sites.

Should I just start over, and delete everything in that gmail and all of my google analytics accounts to my websites so it does not leave a footprint?
And then build a completely new google analytics account?

Or, am I worrying too much and should i just leave everything as is?

Well, what is it that you want to hide from Google?

If you're up to black hat stuff or your website(s) are thin and stuffed with ads and affiliate links then yes: You should probably start over.

If you are doing white hat stuff only and your website(s) offer real value, I wouldn't worry about it.

I plan on building links with Senuke and Brute Force Seo etc, Traffic Geyser, and Unique Article Wizard. I just dont want to get slapped or sandboxed.

I don't really think it matters if you have all these Google services. You should be operating just fine, and it probably won't hurt you unless they like keeping tabs on people who use their services all the time.

Personally I would say that if you are intending to go down the route of mass link creation, then it would be astute to not give Google a shining path to you through their services being associated with the site you are building links for.

There is certainly anecdotal evidence amongst the SEO community that Google has sniffed around the activites of a few SEO's and tracked them through the information Google holds on them. (Cant remember th blog discussing it, might have been greywolf).

If you think Google would frown on what you want to do, then cover your tracks. It's common sense.

I would like to rephase jazbo's quote of "If you think Google would frown on what you want to do, then cover your tracks. It's common sense."

to...

If you think Google would frown on what you want to do, then don't do it. It's common sense.

Exactly. Even if your not up to anything gray I'd still stay away. G is just entirely too good and mining data and putting it together from disparate bits. I use hotmail instead of gmail. MS has repeatedly shown they can't do what google can, so I fee slightly safer. Google is Skynet.
