[GTALUG] [OT] How does Google amass this information?

I recently set up a new domain, AlgarveServers.com - after using
AzurServers.com for three years after moving from France to
Portugal, I thought it was about time although I still maintain my
dial-up account with Free.fr, but dropped my ADSL account.

And at that time (2-3 months ago) I switched my http  server from
Xitami to nginx  (Apologies to, but not trolling the Apache crowd.)

I don't use a firewall since I was advised on irc that, being on a
LAN behind a router, a firewall was superfluous. ("The CIA and
Hackers simply love Firewalls" is the gist of what I was told)

I do run several websites but the traffic is not overly heavy
being bicycle racing oriented in the main. eg:
<http://www.algarveservers.com/sportsite>
However, the Sortsite is also available on two other servers so
traffic is presumably shared amongst the three.

And for outbound email I use "sendgrid.net" which is in reality
designed to send gargantuan quantities of emails from any address
to any address. It is in effect a spam-site although you don't
necessarily have to send spam and sendgrid net pledges never to
reveal your real address..

i don't send any spam and my free account is limited to 4800
emails per month.

I use a Slackware or Tails operating system. Mostly Slackware; Tor
mostly for a browser and Emacs/GNUS for a mailer some local stuff,
mainly cronjob output, uses "mail/nail/mailx"

So how can Google develop so much information as is revealed by
typing "AlgarveServers.com" into the TOR search field? EG: the
following information. or is this a Dumsky question?

According to my thinking, http://zc280035100/algarveservers.com
should get "Not Found", but no, there's some more details there.
