Is anyone else getting odd referring URLs? We're consistently getting tygerpride.com, a school in Mansfield, OH in our top 5 with hundreds of referrals daily, yet we know there's no connection there...

It could be the so called referrer spam. Such entries appear because of requests with fake referrers. As some webmasters publish log analysis reports, these spammers can get extra links to their sites that can improve their position in search engines.

You can exclude such referrers from all the profiles by adding them to the referrer ignore list in Options > Analysis > Ignore Lists.
