What does it mean when I see this as a referer?...

I was checking the cpanel for my website and saw this as a referer:

http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=western+dance&first=11&count=10&FORM=PORE

Does this mean that someone performed this search and then actually came to my site?

Or will this type of thing show up whenever someone enters a search that my site is listed under?

Please help me understand

It means that someone did a google search for "western dance" and saw your link and clicked on it. I belive the 10 and 11 numbers have to do with your position in the results and perhaps what page you're on. Not entirely sure of those two.

http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q...t=10&FORM=PORE

I understand it now
western+dance is the phrase searched
First=11 is the first result on that page
Count=10 is the number of results on the page
PORE is the page Id PORE2 is page 3 PORE3 is page 4 and so on
