Mike, Analytics tracks actual visits (clicks) to the domain/site. Not
mere search queries. If it shows a visit via that particular keyword or
phrase, that means someone (or a bot) searched for that term, and
clicked the link to your site. It's arguable whether Google Analytics
tracks bots though...

Hi Michael, Ruben and List,
I also have Google Analytics and I have seen some *strange* search
requests. I think in some cases, a person might visit a search engine
and make a query, but instead of clicking on the results, they might
have a change of mind and navigate directly to another site from the
search results page. Their query and search URL is held in the
browser cache as "last site visited", and Google Analytics will show
that in the traffic report. I think that explains some cases where I
get queries for stuff like "michael jordan signed rookie card".
Best regards,
MikeG

Hi Mike& all,
This was an example of what I was talking to Greg and Ruben
About in the last few days:
No matter what you do, if you are successful a small percentage
Of people will resent your success. It is very kinky stuff. Sad people
They must be.
