I have seen this before, it is from visits you have made to the site while logged into you iGoogle account I think. It goes back along way, too!

Yes I think you are right, my competitors sites always show up with that and how many times I have visited them.

Interesting one as well, e.g. the more times you visit a competitors site could be a vote in their favour!!!!

I never thought of that, I shall avoid them in the future

Just found this tool and remembered this thread.

Let's hope it works better than TrackMeNot, which I installed thinking that I would not be voting for the competitors sites...

Thanks for the link I'll give it a try.

Thanks for that.

Daft question time, how will I know if it's working? It says it's installed but nothing is showing so I can't switch it on or off.
