What is referrer spam?

Referrer spam is a unique type of spam content and shows up as either a fake traffic referral, a search term, or a direct visit. Referrer spam is visible through the web analytics dashboard, usually only to a website administrator.
A referrer is a link or name that is shared through the HTTP header when a web browser crawls from one to another page. Your web analytics has a track about this information and offers you a bevy of information about your audience, such as where they came from.
