Weird Numbers in Logs as Search Keywords

I've having things like this show up as a search term in my website's stats for the last couple days:

keyphrases Search Percent
1668136108551 8 53.3 %
smart money 2 13.3 %

When I do a search for that "phrase" i get nothing. The term does not appear on my site.

Anyone have any ideas.

What search engine does it show are the referrer?
Have you looked at your raw log file to make sure that the search query (as reported by your stats app) is complete?

I once had Google referrals for a number. When I searched the number on Google, I didn't see my site in the results, but the 9th listing was a URL which some site (some directory IIRC) used to link to me using a parameter. Clicking on the link brought up my site/page but the title/description in the SERP was from the directory. It's been a while since I've seen that. The number happened to be some model number for a Hewlett Packard thingamajiggy.

 

MSN is the refering SE.

I looked in the raw logs and there is no match for that number.

if I search on all the major SEs there is no match for "1668136108551"

any other ideas? I'm truly stumped.

If you can't find the number as a text string in your raw log file, I'd have to guess that your log analysis software has a bug (ie. is defective).
