I am confused at how Ask looks at my site. They send me really weird traffic for long phrases that for the life of me I can't see how my site relates to.
Is there a Ask SE 101 guide somewhere to help me figure this out ?

they look at communities more than the other engines do. sometimes it seems there is a bit too much weight on the community score to where less than relevant sites creap to the top.
in subjects where there is not much of a community then their algorithms are not going to be as relevant as well.
you may want to peak at Mike Grehan's topic distillation guide to visualize the concepts a bit
