these called "ghost referrals" , best way rid of them add new view , create include filter it.
check out full post http://blog.tylerbuchea.com/google-analytics-filtering-out-ghost-referrals/
first go the analytics admin section , choose account , property you'd apply filter to. create new view "example.com (ghost referalls filter)". trust me on create new 1 , don't reuse existing one. i'll explain later.
add new filter freshly created view. select custom tab, mark include radio button, , choose hostname dropdown. you'll want enter sites hostnames separated or operator "|" , make sure add backslash before each period. white list hostnames , block other sites sending fake data muddy analytics reports.
example entry
example\.com|www\.example\.com|translate\.google\.com
so why new view?
if add filter existing view permanently change view , of past data.
i don't see data
unfortunately analytics doesn't apply filters past data. of data in filtered view day assigned onwards. give few days , you'll using original view less , less.
