Google Analytics shows visits to my site landing at: mathematics21.org/?from=http://snip.to/. I have not ordered advertisements from snip.to and have never seen a URL like this.

    Check to see if these entries are in your server access logs. If not, then you want to see this question: http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/75909/how-to-fight-off-referrer-spammers/75914#75914 It is possible that this is another form of referral spam. Who knows for sure until you check your log files?? This is a new one. – closetnoc Nov 18 '15 at 01:11
  • @closetnoc It seems that there are no snip.to in my Nginx log files (except of one entry, probably originated from http://webmasters.stackexchange.com) - I will read that question. – porton Nov 18 '15 at 01:20
