I have added my website to the referral exclusion list, but it's still coming through as a referral traffic.
Could anyone shed any light as to why this is happening?
Thanks

I have a website using google analytics, how do I know which Website a user redirects to my Website?
Is there anyone who made it before?
Thank you.... <3
You can do so logging into GA, under Acquisition > All Traffic > Referrals on the left.
When checking out my page on Google Analytics, I didn't recognize the 2nd most visited page of my site. When I clicked on it, it just goes to a Page 404 Error. What is this page? Where did it come from, and How are Sooo many people getting routed to it? You'll also see my 4th visited page has the same issue! Please help!
PIC HERE
In Google Analytics I found a page which I did not create.
The full url is http://youngzy.com/h/3668354.html.
When I open it, it looks like the latest posts recently.
But who make it?
Does it generate automatically ?
Why, Where and How?
Any experience? Thanks.
I'm using WordPress.org
I had the same issue and found this to be annoying referral spam designed to get you to visit their website. I filtered my report by “Hostname” and found all the visits are from one of 5 domains which all redirect to a website with a “free" SEO report: https://semalt.com/?ref=seocheckupx. Just more obnoxious spam tactic by an unreputable SEO firm - Semalt.
Here's a good article about referral spam from Semalt and how to filter them out of your analytics: https://www.kymodo.com.au/what-is-semalt-doing-on-your-website/
Ever since I started embedding videos on my website using the YouTube API, I have been getting Social Network Referrals from YouTube. I don't have any links to my website on my videos or in the descriptions so I have no idea why that traffic would be coming from YouTube and where its coming from (full referrer is very generic)
I am wondering if that is just a reporting bug that happens when someone views a video on my website and then goes to another page. Or could I be doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for any insight into this.
I had the same issue :) One day in the morning I wake up in a sleepy mode and checked out my analytics and boom spike. But as you mention I wasn't able to find exact videoid which gives me this traffic. Long story short I just searched my domain name (without www) in a youtube and saw that 1 guy shared video yesterday and got 1K view for 24 hours. And I understand that it is that guy and video which gave me that traffic.
So, just try to search your domain name in youtube because video which gave you that traffic contains that domain ;-)
I've been using google analytics for my website for awhile now and haven't had any problems. Just today though I checked the all pages tab under Behavior->Site Content and found something very strange. A bunch of pages that aren't on in my websites directory are now appearing there and saying they have traffic (albeit very little). Here's a link to an image of the pages: http://imgur.com/keXaQzD
I've verified that non of these pages exist on my live server or in the directory on my local machine. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Or how I can get rid of these pages on my website? I've searched around on google but have had no luck figuring out whats going on.
Thanks for the help in advance!
Timothy it looks like you are just seeing Referral/Referrer Spam.
Here are a couple of my favorite links on the subject:

Its a good idea to have a Raw View with no filters, but then also a filtered view with a include:yourdomainname.com added, to filter out any possible hits sent by people copying your GA tracking code.
