Google query - nice list of affiliate/Adsense sites

Try this Google query on for size:

"They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs Other technologies such as cookies JavaScript or Web Beacons may also be used by the third party ad networks to measure the effectiveness"

I did a search for "Adsense privacy policy generator", then stripped a line of unique text from the generated content. This results in a nice list of tons of sites who have used the tools, the vast majority of which are Adsense or Amazon affiliates.

To protect yourself from this type of snoopage, simply make you privacy policy noindex - or better yet, disallow it in your robots.txt.

Just thought I'd share

    Wow, 4.3 million results on exact-match. Impressive! Thanks for sharing. Yes, it's good to protect yourself against such footprints. Btw, a noindex meta tag works even better than disallowing in the robots.txt file as most bots seem to obey meta tags more than they do the robots.txt. Google obeys both, though, so you're fine doing either there.
