I was following some site (do not want to reveal) and it is getting some 100 plus uniques from Google but when I check site:domain.com

Google says "did not match any documents."

How is that even possible? Any idea?

    How do you know the site's stats if it's not yours? Or is it yours?

    The site has installed histats code on the website and from that link you can see the details of the stats.

    Try site:www.domain.com, sometimes it shows different results.

    I haven't seen anything like this... Are you sure the website is NOT indexed in ALL search engines.. I mean can this website be indexed in Yahoo for example and get ALL the visitors from there. Because I have a website that is indexed in Yahoo, but still not indexed in Google...

      Ahhhh yes. That's an age-old question. The answer is actually
      known by few people, I suppose. Now that will include everybody
      here.

      Google does not have to index a page to show results from
      the page. Sound strange?

      Meaning, the site in question has been gleaned and is showing
      data mined from that page, so in affect, it gives the source,
      without actually indexing the page.

      I remember hearing some tale about Matt Cutts discussing this.

      So, I can't give the exact details on how and why. Maybe if
      one does a little more digging online, you'll get it.

      And if this is not the case for the site in question, well, at
      least you can keep this for future reference.

      I can even think of other cases using various google products.

      Remember, any info showing on a product originating from google
      will most likely show google as the origin.

    If a site is not indexed in google, that means google does not have data about that site into their search engine. How can those sites have traffic from google? or you are just talking about search engine traffic including other search engines except google?

      You are thinking inside the box. Think outside the box. The dozens of
      googlebots know about many,many sites, not shown in the regular serps.

      Here's the way I think it went in one case. Someone was looking for a
      specific piece of data. Perhaps this piece of data was only on that page.
      That page was not indexed, but google shows the result, and, offers
      the page as a reference.

      In fact, I just did it. I typed in
      what is the temperature in my city
      (of course putting my city in)
      It gave me results from accuweather.
      I copied the url, sure enough. That specific url is not indexed.

      Anyways, like I said. Google has many products and a huge
      gaggle of bots that glean the web.

      It's a simple concept, really. Why some cargo on silly replies
      is beyond me.

      Google gleans a lot of data, and some of it does not need to be indexed
      to be shown.

    I tried all the combinations and nothing of that page is indexed. I also tried Google Germany and others but still none of those indexed it. In Yahoo and Bing it has some 6 pages/posts indexed. If you want the link just ask me I will PM you.

      Had that happen to me a few days ago. But when I googled:
      "domainname.com"
      There it was, with 15 or 16 indexed pages.

          You're right, Coffee Brewers with or without the http:// doesn't show up when you google it in quotation marks. If you're getting traffic, it's quite interesting and baffles me.
