it isn't just webmasters that use google stuff.  |
I agree with your last sentence, however I thought we were discussing Google Analytics which is a "webmaster opts in" service. I can't see any experienced BH webmasters using GA, unless there was something they could exploit.
AFAIK the toolbar does not return the page title. Here's a phone home I just captured:
GET /search?
client=navclient-auto
&googleip=O;74.125.19.147;1640
&iqrn=EJBC
&orig=0n_6O
&iqst=404
(return status)
&ie=UTF-8
&oe=UTF-8
&querytime=lQB
&features=Rank:
&q=info:http%3a%2f%2fwww%2esomesite%2ecom%2fadadsd fss
&ch=733908249866

Note that the toolbar also sends the Google ID cookie.
