I think you're probably right about that. I've also noticed a tendency for users to get stuck in a pattern. They visit a site the first time by going through a certain chain of actions on Google, and from then on out they continue to visit the site via that chain. Sometimes, this borders on the bizarre, including browsing through multiple pages of search results and/or clicking on PPC ads (very annoying if you're the one paying for those ad clicks).
