Philipp Lenssen puts this SEO urban legend to rest.

I had a lil’ bet going with Googler Matt Cutts. The premise? I figured that once you installed the Google Toolbar, every URL you’d visit would slowly be added to the Google web search index… even otherwise unlinked URLs, as long as they’re public (and not excluded via robots.txt).

Well, it turns out my suspicion was dead-wrong.

I never seriously believed that this was the case anyway - it would have been a privacy violation if nothing else.
