First of all, do you know the referrals are from Google? To what extent
are you sure? It sounds as though you use a pure-referral-based analysis.
I am raising this point because you mustn't assume it's Google, not even
if Google accounts for >95% of your referrals (from SERP's.) I once made
this mistake myself. Unexpected terms in the log can come from Yahoo
SERP's, for instance. You may sometimes neglect to look at these until the
logs point at that direction.
