How to create a new Google account without Google+
Creating new Google accounts these days, automatically sign you up for Gmail and Google+. We'll show you how to create a new Google account without them.
Signing up for a new Google account now automatically signs you up for Gmail and Google+, whether you like it or not.
If you're looking to create a new Google account, without being automatically signed up for Gmail and Google+, you still can, for now. However, there's no telling when Google will officially make this a requirement across all of their services.
Use the old Google signup page
The old Google signup page is still currently active and won't automatically create a Gmail account or Google+ profile.

According to the Google Operating System blog, the signup pages for some of Google's other services, like Google Calendar and Blogger, don't yet force you to create a Gmail account or Google+ profile.
That's it. If you want to create a new Google account without being forced to have Gmail or Google+, you might want to go use the old signup page while you still can. If you've already used the new form, you can always go back and delete your Google+ account.
