As more and more website templates are used, the more often I am seeing websites calling Google for analytics, fonts, capchas, maps, docs, even accounting data; just about everything a web site can do is via Google! It's no news that many people opt to use do-not-track, anonymizers, and blockers for Google, Facebook, Twitter ad nauseum and other 3rd party spies. Yes - I heard it from those assimilated with Google that Google is the second coming and can turn water in to wine; but at what risk to my clients customers privacy? Am I wrong to assume Google, and the others, are really offering up all the goodies absolutely free? Or is the "free" use of off-site bells and whistles at the sites visitor's expense? i

Data mining is the name of the game. Google is monetizing your traffic in exchange for using their otherwise free services.
