Searching google without bias
-
i read a tip once and can't find the reference to that tip. It had to do with searching google without including the history of your searches to bias the result. The user was suppose to put a code at the end of the URL, like &pw or something like that. Anyone hear of this?

that was it! thanks

Hi StreetwiseReports
The code to add onto the end of a URL Search Query is:
- &pws=0
Check out a blog post here on SEOmoz from last week, entitled "Face-off - 4 Ways to De-personalize Google" which is all about de-personalizing search.

No. Only things you can do, as far as I know are:
1. clear your history(i do from the beginning of time)
2. Sign out of Google/Gmail
3. Make sure your preference search is set to OFF.
since I keep track of my keywords on a google doc, I just open up Internet Explorer and save the rankings on there(I use dual monitors).
