How is G00gle tracking me? Using Selenium to create accounts.

Selenium use Firefox which is installed on yours PC with clean profile (you can set it to use your own). But generally selenium is very easy to track as it uses javascript to populate fields, no mouse moves, no key entering etc. Also you have clean PC but this is also footprint - how many users don't have any google cookie from analitycs, adsense etc? Or dont't have any plugin installed? Anyway you can still create gmails without phone verify but use something like AutoIT or keyboard and mouse emulation through windows API

I'm using C#, Selenium and Firefox to quicken up the registering of Gma1L accounts, but G00gle is blocking the accounts I'm making now, and I'm looking for help as to why
Host machine: Ubuntu Desktop
VirtualBox VM: Windows 7 Pro SP1
Each time I fire up the VM to create a account I change/do the following:
New Mac address
New IP (Residential DSL/National Company)
No Flash installed
No Java installed
Cookies cleaned (inc. LSOs)
Screen resolution changed
Cache cleaned
The stand-out thing to me is the fact that yes I'm doing this using a virtual machine, but I'm working on a strict budget, and want to make account creation is quick as possible, on the cheap.
The first time it blocked me I had changed the Mac for the very first time, which I thought would help after looking through the TCP/IP stack. I had created 4 accounts in the previous 48 hours no problem with the same MAC.
I had registered as normal, got the PVA pin sent to a new sim card/number (same phone/IMEI), entered the pin and BAM, account disabled.
So I tried again, same telephone number but I started changed the user-agent.
The browser and OS language was still English UK, where I'm at/IP location. Account disabled again.
I mean, all Selenium is doing is populating the registration form, and not even all of it, just the text boxes, so part of the form filling is still done manually.
Anyone have any info or ideas they could share?
Thanks a lot.
I think you should try to automate such process with autoit and use real mozilla browser or even better use safari or opera...

My guess is that Selenium leaves a distinguishable footprint. Also as mentioned before, recaptcha is something that is probably looking at cursor speed and location, typing pace, etc.
People are overly freaking out about WebRTC. I don't claim to be a networking expert but it really is just P2P. If you are up to the challenge of understanding all 7 layers of network, read this: http://www.amazon.com/TCP-Illustrated-Vol-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0201633469. WebRTC isn't compromising privacy as we know it, relax.
