You may be interested in taking a closer look at the information Analog can glean from you after reading "A Webmaster's Strange But True Tale" in my K5 diary at:
http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/2/24/23142/2844
A similar tale: I created a concordance of Finnegans Wake, which, containing long lists of words, shows up in a lot of searches, particularly, because of Joyce's creative use of languages, when the user misspells his or her query. What these people must think when they are looking for, e.g., cock up apuss, and find a list of all the words in Finnegans Wake, I can't imagine. (Actually, that one -- in Google -- linked to my introductory PDF to FW. It also brought up another's essay about FW!)
For a couple of months now, though, the top query leading to my site has been "topples teens in thongs". This referral is coming from Ask Jeeves (on Google, the search brings up a ton of sites titled exactly so (misspelled)). At Ask Jeeves, my concordance page is the 6th result, right under "The Biggest Online Text Dictionary on the Web."
Next question: Is it many users making the same query and following the enticing link to the concordance, or did someone follow the link and bookmark the Ask Jeeves framed page?
