Keywords like "Gundalian invaders bakugan" never bring my hubs in the search results, but at least I have gotten some bakugan related hubs so thought "mysteries" hid somewhere; but today I noticed a keyword "best profitable adsense keywords" shows up in my GA report, that really came from nowhere! I'm confused, why those irrelevant keywords end up showing in my GA report? I don't feel I can completely rely on GA at this point.
I think you can. The Internet works in mysterious ways. If Analytics says that is how a visitor found you, this is probably correct. What you are describing is not uncommon.
I write a lot of satire and comic stuff, so there are no "key words" per se, so what you are talking about, the seeming randomness, actually pays off for me. Count yourself lucky, write good stuff, and, in theory, the cream will rise to the top. Let's hope so.
analytics is showing entrance keywords - someone would have searched that term
top result:
http://hubpages.com/hub/Six-Great-Steps … e-Keywords
and then made their way to your hub,
Sunforged, you wouldn't happen to hand out Blueblocker sunglasses for us to look at that new avatar, would you?
Thanks. That makes sense, at least theoretically, that would be nice, regardless how they exactly find my way.

Okay, guys! What am I doing wrong here? I have written 39 hubs, and only made $4.94 on AdSense. That must be the hardest earned $4.94 of my life - no joke! I made more than that in one evening of babysitting 25 years ago.HELP!! Please!! I have heard it takes...

I've joined hubpages last month because of all the words spreading around about it and since then I've created about 50 hubs all spread out over several accounts. Now I've targeted long tail keywords for my hubs with average CPC of 2$ and about 1000 hits per day. My hubs are ranking well and I'm...

Why do totally unrelated keywords appear in Google Analytics for hubs?When looking through my Google Analytics I keep seeing keywords that have lead people to my hubs but those words have nothing to do with the content of my hub. Why?

I now have 11 hubs that are not indexed by google - nothing published since July 12 (the last one was published on the 9th and indexed yesterday). Normally I've seen then set up with 24 hours, occasionally in 48, but now it's 8 days and not done!!??
