So, if someone did a click to an unrelated serp, then typed in to go to your site, the old referring information carried over.
Considering I've clicked and clicked and clicked through the serps and never found my sites in the results, that's the best explanation I've heard.
We replicated that by opening multiple windows. With two windows open the first browser's referral string gets forwarded. With three windows open the 2nd browser's referral string is forwarded, and so on, unless you click back to a previous window, then that window's referral string is forwarded until a new browser window is opened or the windows are closed, or you click another open window.
And I've had a couple of hits for "pic of a hymen". I do have some items that happen to have a picture of the Greek god Hymen on them.
Hmm - I just found out that on MSN, my site comes up under "pic of burning american flag". ATW actually has that MSN SERP indexed.
