Sure.  Google Analytics works via a small snippet of javascript
on each page that causes browsers to issue requests back to Google's
site (which Google then counts).  Since most bots don't parse or
evaluate the javascript, only "real" browsers tend to get counted.

Sure.  Analytics says that 35% arrive via Google search, and 17%
arrive directly.

For February, the most visited sections were the Cookbook and PmWiki
groups (203,282 and 93,896 pageviews respectively).  You're correct
that there's not a single obvious link that would catch newcomers...
I'll add one if I can find an appropriate place for it.
