The most likely culprit (if your site has a substantial number of pages) is that it has been getting indexed by a Search Engine 'bot. Some stats packages help you identify these, otherwise you might look for something that tells you about the "User Agent" or similar - that should list a lot of IE, some Mozilla, and name the 'bots.
