Why there are some 'hostnames' not belongs to myself tracked in my analytics report?

    I found five more hostnames which not belongs to myself appear in the report under Visitors -> Network Properties -> Hostnames.

    They are:
    get.free-insurance-quotes.eu,
    72.14.235.132,
    bbq.analytic01.sfx.adbrite.com,
    proximize.me,
    webwarper.net.

    Why they are tracked? :eek::eek:
    Is there any harm to my website? :confused::confused:

    By the way, I used web proxy visiting my sites once.

    they are just visiting your website, not more than that.
    Every user who visits your website has it's own ip address, some of these ip can be reversed to domain name.

    And/or, when you visited your website with a proxy, the proxy is a visitor, when google is indexing your website in it's search engine, it is visiting your website, if you are using adbrite, it probably visited your website, if not maybe the proxy used it ...

    Maybe it's also a few referer spam. But this has nothing to do with adsense.. wrong section of the forum.

    I have no idea why other host names are being tracked but i think there is an error in their script or something
