I was thinking more specifically of the case where you have a google 
account and have it set up to log you in automatically.   The google 
page I see usually has 'wbaxter at gmail.com' at the top.  For those of us 
crazy enough to do that, google can watch our every step, and could be 
using those steps to recommend other steps.

I agree that it's very unlikely they do anything like that for anonymous 
users.
