      Is there any data on the implications of removing everything google from a site; analytics, adsense, webmaster tools, sitemaps,  etc. Obviously they still have their search data and they say they dont use these other sources of data for ranking information but has anyone actually tried this or is there any existing data on this?

        Implications I'd be concerned about are losing communication with Google.

        • Without GWT, you're losing knowing about any warnings or penalties associated with the site.

        • Without GWT, you're losing the ability to tell Google about your parameters in your site, your preferred crawl rate, etc.

        • Without sitemaps, you're losing the ability to tell Google about the pages in your site that they might not easily discover. You're also doing the same for Bing if you don't put up any site maps.

        Google will still get a lot of information from people surfing that have the Google Toolbar installed.

        You can get some of this same information with the Bing Webmaster Center, SEOmoz tools, and other tools.

        If you're paranoid but would still like the information, I'd set up separate Google accounts for each of your sites and keep everything separate.

          This is more of a general question not really a personal question or something we would want to do, just lately I feel that google might have a bit too much info on us and everything really. What I would really like to know is if limiting the amount of data we give to google is an advantage or disadvantage in rankings.

          • If we have all products on-site for indexing, do we get dinged by Google for not transacting on-site?
