Concern About Website Views

I am at a loss as to whom to ask about this... If this is the wrong forum for this discussion, I would appreciate someone posting the name/ link for me to follow...
 
I sell/ship my handmade products only to the USA via Etsy & Amazon. However, foreign countries (such as China, India, Arabian countries, etc) repeatedly Google their way to my non-ecommerce website, but never to my shops. They methodically visit each page including archived blog posts. They use a formula that reads in part  "... quantserve. com /util/ platform /elements ..."
 
Many of the referring sites appear to be fake school/classroom Weebly sites and individual personal Weebly sites -undeveloped with only posted links to their 'class work.' (I will not click on them!)
 
Kindly note that i mean no offense to anyone. But the hits to my pages are on a continuing basis and it is worrisome to me, as i cannot understand why they are scrutinizing my every word.
 
Can anyone shed light on this subject?

Hey @Cre8ful! What you're describing is referrer spam. Basically, they're hoping you'll click or visit referral links to drive traffic to those sites. You'll see this with any site on the internet, and I'd recommend just ignoring them.

Adam, Kind of off the question above but does your weebly site have to be a paid site to be able to get reports of website views etc?

Thanks!

If you upgrade we do provide stats on your site on your account dashboard:
