Webmasters Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for pro webmasters. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I have a strange scenario. My website's google analytics are showing the increase rate in visits for those keywords (using google organic) which are not listed in google.

I can see in google analytics that 500 user visits mysite using XYZ Keyword by Google Organic search. but I search XYZ in google search engine i can't even see my website in first 20 pages.

How could it be possible?

Google shows different results for different countries, check which countries these users cam from, then log on to a web proxy and surf Google from that location, maybe in that country you rank on top...

Another option is that it is bots that are scanning the net...

Yeah, google is often localized. Especially for keywords that are very location specific, of course, so that's something to consider. – Kzqai Jun 6 '11 at 17:48

check with google webmaster tools and "your site on the web" -> "search queries". if they show up there, then yes, your site does get found for these terms, maybe not on google.com but on another country domain (google.de, google.co.uk) so you didn't see it in your small scale test.

if they don't show up on google webmaster tools then there is the chance that another site used your google analytics id (there is no tracking f*ck up i haven't seen before...) then you can use http://blekko.com/ to find this (it has some advanced find sites with same tracking features)
