I hope you really don't beleive these things do you?

They only give a rough estimated, or probably where the ISPs hub is (correct me if im wrong).

The only thing they are good at telling is the Country. If you are lucky, the state. The city, never usually tells you the correct one.

The only way to find out where you live is to trace your IP, find your ISP, call your ISP and ask them for your IPs street address. Your ISP will not release this unless you have like, DDoSed a site, for example.

The IP lookups (whois) on the internet will get it down to the city that your ISP's HQ usually is. Its where the IP block is registered to. It could be hundreds, even thousands of miles away (such is the case in the US sometimes).
Your ISP can trace where you live. They can run a test right up to your demarcation point. But publicly, no, you can't find where someone lives.

Yeah, it's not exactly accurate.

Code:
Your ISP:
        EMBARQHSD.NET
Hostname:
        fl-76-6-193-80.dhcp.embarqhsd.net
Country:
        United States
State:
        Virginia
Hub City:
        Lexington
Timezone:
        America/New_York
Browser:
        Mozilla Firefox 3.0b5
OS:
        Windows XP
Screen Res.:
        
Referrer:
        forum.cheatengine.org


what is correct:

Code:
Your ISP:
        EMBARQHSD.NET
Hostname:
        fl-76-6-193-80.dhcp.embarqhsd.net
Country:
        United States
State:
        Florida
Hub City:
        Ft. Myers
Timezone:
        EST (I suppose that's technically correct)
Browser:
        Mozilla Firefox 3.0b5
OS:
        Windows XP
Screen Res.:
        1024 x 768
Referrer:
        forum.cheatengine.org

I was traced in Western Australia. And I live on the east coast.
I'm glad it can't be traced exactly. It's more safe for us hackers not to get caught by gaming companies, software companies and MICROSOFT!!!

Lol, some ip tracers trace your server, and other trace your real location.

Just use 2/3 proxies to be sure.
