What browser are you using? If you are using explorer, from the desktop right click on the explorer icon and go to "properties". It will open on the general tab, click on delete cookies and clear history, also change the Days to remember history to "0". Remember by doing this you will delete and passwords etc. that you may have stored as you are deleting the cookies. There is still ways to find out the pages you are searching but it takes someone with intricate computer knowledge to know where to look.
I find that even if I adjust the settings like the knowledgeable person above suggests, Internet Explorer often doesn't believe that I mean it. I find that if I use Firefox, from www.mozilla.org, and set the preferences to keep no history, it doesn't. What a concept.
The MOST important thing is to make sure you have GOOD or excellent page TITLES. Each page title should be different.It's not necessary to put meta tags on all or any of your pages to improve search engine rankings. Meta tags were used and rely on heavily in the early days of search engines, however, search engine algorithms or bots are more sophisticated in determining which sites should rank high. Right now search engines like Google and Yahoo place more weight on things like page text (content, Alt tags), relevance and quality of inbound links. For example: if you sell jewellery on-line a inbound link from KAY jewellers would carry more weight in Google and Yahoo search engines, in-terms of ranking. Search engines today, no longer have to rely on Meta tags inserted in HTML head pages to determine what pages are about and what their importance should be to searchers.
HOWEVER, despite the fact that meta tags has lost its effectiveness over the years, it is still useful for some search engines today. As a matter of fact Google search engine still see relevance in the description tag. The description tag is particularly handy for controlling how your link will appear. Here you want to use 12 to 15 words that describe the content of your page, preferably using the same collection of words and phrases that can be found in your main body of text. This again should change from page to page depending on content.
The biggest downfall for meta tags is the "keywords" tag. It seems their usefulness has all but disappeared but they won't harm your site so you might as well include a few. I am including them right now in a new website I am working on. I don't think I will ever completely stop using Meta Tags in my web pages. Finally, Google will know what page is your home page in several ways. Example: I name my website home page "default.asp" some people use .htm or .php and so on. When you sign up with Google or submit a sitemap to Google you should be able to specify the main pages you want Google bots to crawl and how often. Some good third party mods will allow you to do just that.
How do you exclude commercial sites in web searches?

Dose the Google toolbar slow your computer down?
Yes
I just found something by accident. My computer has been slow for quite a while. This evening "google installer" kept trying to access the internet causing my pages not to open and stall. (Not Responding). Each time Google Installer tried to access the internet, my "Defender Pro" asked me and I clicked to block access. It kept trying over and over leaving me unable to use the computer, online. I went to start, run, msconfig, and startup, scrolled down and un-checked the google installer box, applied and did a restart. It began again when I went back on line. I checked and the box had be re- checked. I uninstalled the Google tool bar, and now my computer is fast as it was when new.
