There's not even an actual visit to your site, simply a script on a machine somewhere (usually infected a bunch of infected pc's) which triggers a Google analytics referral. It's exploiting a fundamental flaw in Google Analytics where GA doesn't care where the GA JS is fired from.
So to recap, nobody is visiting your site, the people doing this aren't relying on being indexed in Google, they are just collecting clicks from people like you wondering where these fake referrals come from.

You misunderstand.
I am not clicking on any links.
I am putting keywords into Google search URL. Looking to see where some of our sites are at. Doing it in different browsers and from different IPs.
My sites show up, in the serp and so do all of these bogus sites. Usually they are using our domain name in a domain.com/my-domain-name.html type of link. Much of the time they link to a irrelevant tube or scraping search site. It would be nice to not have to compete against bogus sites for serps based on our domain or keyword domain.
