      Thanks, Keri! I couldn't find anything via this method or good old fashioned search. It's a bit baffling that Analytics says it's coming from search when I can't find any results in search.

        Thanks Mark and Daniel! I'll give it a go in OSE. I've been sticking to Analytics and GWT but it seems like it's time to branch out.

            Can you give us the URL of the site in question to take a peek ourselves - I'm know rather curious about what is going on here

                Does this query contain any site you might know?

                Google serp

                        Hate to quit but without any specifics it's not sensible to search more thorough and I would like to second the remark by Marks Ginsberg. But if you do I would love to take another look into it. Nothing like some could old investigating I always say.

                          Thanks for all the advice and help! I'm still digging, but I noticed that our PPC ads are surfacing on pages that are on SERPs for those particular terms. It may be some kind of wonky Analytics tracking.

                            believe I found a hint

                            opensiteexplorer linking pages: limboland.net

                            | *.limboland.net/

                            | Top Linking Pages | Page Authority |
                            | http://business.limboland.net/factoring/delaware_llc/delaware_llc.html | 29 |

                            | 39 | 281 |

                            See http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/domains.html?page=2&scope=domain_to_domain&site=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.delawareinc.com%2F&sort=domain_authority&target=domain

                            Anchor text linking to some page on https://www.delawareinc.com/

                            | your story heidi lowe gallery,1,6 |

                            Query Google if the phrase with myamar girls etc is indexed for the limbo land site:

                            myanmar girls site:http://limboland.net/

                            See the smoking gun? This site links to yours and uses the exact keywords and is a doubtful site at best.

                            I would disavow this entire website.

                            Hope this helps.

                            Gr Daniel
