Mystery of zero visits in Google Analytics solved

Keywords report has some keywords with zero visits! Is this a mistake?

After Googling around and found the answer in varies blogs. If the visitor did a second/third/fourth/...etc. search within 30 minutes and arrived at our website again, the second/third/fourth/...etc. search keywords will be logged but the visits count will go towards the first keywords.

Here are some of the blogs that covers this issue.
