Odd stats in Google Analytics: visitors out of nowhere?!
Sometime ago I was going to set up google analytics for a friend, so I set up a new analytics account for his site
But I wasn't able to add the tracking code because he wasn't able to get the password for his server for ages
Now some weeks later I get the password, yet when I check the google analytics account I see it already shows some data!!

how is this possible for any data at all to have been acquired?? I haven't touched his website at all yet to add the ga.js
