    Hi all,
    from analytics report, I have noticed that there are some search visits which are generating from 'site:domain.com' keywords. But, I didn't do it at all. Then, do you have nay idea, in which kind of scenario this kind of searches can be occurred?

    Regards

    If you didn't do it then it must be someone else who did it. After all you got a link to your website on a Webmaster forum. All of us know about the site: operator right? Personally I sometimes do it myself.

    I remember I did it a few times for ezinearticles, Squidoo, and and Hubpages. Each for a different reason. Like on Ezinearticles I wanted to see how many pages didn't have the word expert in it. I forget the reason but not that many. In fact their is only 100 pages on Ezinearticles that don't have the word expert. Interesting eh?

    for example keyword tracking tools, tools to lookup a bunch of sites and keywords automatically.
    so most probably you got tracked by a smart competitor

    Could be a competitor, could also be someone who remembers something on your site but can't locate it. Using site:domain.com is a very good method of searching sites, assuming they are adequately indexed.

    When people want to view what all you have indexed and are a webmaster this can occur. That is most likely the only time though not. :D

    I agree, even I got similar search for my one of the site.. many people serch like site:site.com and also cache:site.com . So its not a matter of concern. It show people are interested in your site.

    most likely your competitors, if you sell links, more like the people who will buy

    On Google search result, there is "Similar" and "Cached", I think there are other few showing on light blue color link that corresponds to more details about sites.. that result could be from it..

    My site is very new and don't get any reason for which people will get so much interest as i don't have good traffic yet. However, last 30 days, according to google analytics my site was visite with 'site:domainname.com' for about 100 times :p

    i know exactly what keywords they targeting and why they ranking for keyword xy.
