Good Goggling tips for a Better Experience.

First Tip:

No Region Google


Look I am not alone when I say this. I hate that I get Regional  Google. I want to search the web and being an American most of my searches are targeted for the entire web and not ads that suit my location. 

I changed my searches over to this. What it does is give you Google without country ID. Thus you can search the web and find relevant items without a lot of Regional items.

Just by adding NCR after the .com/NCR  you will search the entire web.  This can also be accomplished through the Google tool bar.  However if you are like me.  Who wants all those tool bars?  

Second Tip:

Recording all Your Search Terms


Yes as I said every thing you have ever searched for is saved by Google  If you were logged into Gmail or Google in any form. You can also review everything you ever searched for. Hmmm maybe not a good thing.

Helpful to turn it off


Turn off your Google Web History


If you're visiting a webpage or performing a search that you don't want stored in your Google Web History:
Click the gear icon on the upper right corner of a search results page, and go to Search history.
Click the gear icon again on the upper corner of the Web History page, and go to Settings.
Click the Turn off button next to "Web History is on." To start keeping track of your web search activity again, click the Turn on button.
Sometimes you might prefer to run a few searches without recording them. Instead of turning off your Google Web History, you can simply use a private browsing mode like Google Chrome incognito mode or Firefox Private Browsing to prevent your web activities from being associated with your Google Web History.
Note: If you sign in to your Google Account in private browsing mode, your subsequent web activities are recorded in your Google Web History. Stay signed out if you don't want them to be stored.
If you'd like to sign out of Google Web History altogether, click your name or email address at the top of the page, then select Sign out from the drop-down menu. Note that you'll need to sign back in to your Google Account in order for Google Web History to begin storing your activity again.
If you sign out of your Google Account, your browser might continue to store your search history.
