hey guys hows it going?
so I just googled my ip address, and i saw some random results which just provided the location of my internet provider. but this website called ExtremeTracking.com had some interesting results.. they actually had results from my search engine searches in google about a month ago..
I didn't know where else to post and didn't wanna make a yahoo answer account so am posting here.. can anyone else google their ip and checkout this website.. or tell me more about how they got it/should i be worried??
lol cause im pretty worried atm
edit, I am being serious.. this is not some ad or some bot (see almost 2 k posts)

I do not understand what you did, or what you found.
The website of extremetracking.com seemed to do notta with my IP address.
I am more than a little underwhelmed, and confused.

It started doing something with it right after you entered it on the site.

No. Entering it made the site start tracking you. Contract signed, deal implied, stuff like that.

except that it did not appear to do anything with my IP address,
ethical or otherwise.

Maybe my family's Norton Internet Security ate it's downloads?
but this would be the same Norton that said the website was safe, and didn't do anything like that.

well I googled my Ip address, not type it onto the site.
the site came up with a list of my past searches that I made on google and yahoo which was really scary.

Yeah you can safely assume that site is naughty.
