Then they're just looking to referrer spam you in the hopes of bumping
their Google ranking, most likely.

Preventing referrer spam
The easiest method to avoid becoming a target of referrer spam is to
not publish your web site statistics publically.
If you wish to publish your web site statistics publically, you can
manually ban web sites which use you for referrer spam.
If you have already been a victim of referrer spam, there are tools
available to clean the spam entries from your web server log files.
One such tool is Referrer Spam Fucker 3000."
Nice name for a application :(
