Ok....Looking at my entrance keywords, Non Paid.

I have had 132 visits from Google for "pet supplies" but when I try a rank check on that term I am not listed (according to Rank Checker for FF) in google. So where are they coming from?? Did a check on both .com & .co.uk

I had this exact same issue. We used to get around 30+ hits a day from a few very competitive terms which I could never see us anywere for.

Not sure if it's a coincidence but one day our Google Base feed expired and on that day our visits from these keywords stopped dead. I uploaded a new Base feed immediately but they never returned.

Do you use Google Base?

I've just been speaking to our account manager at Google. I've asked them to look into where we were getting these hits from so I'll let you know if we hear anything back.

We spend stupid amounts of money on Adwords. Today is actually the first time I've spoken to her.

She's obviously only really concerned with adwords but she was very helpful and offered to look into the issue we (and you) seem to be experiencing.

I got a wonderfully generic response from the "Analytics Expert" laced with phrases like "Many signals are involved in search algorithms and any number of factors may explain changes in search result placement" and "we are constantly working to improve search and make our search results more relevant for our users"

Sorry Chubster, no joy.
