Whats with this fake traffic?

Hey it has been a while, i decided to write this because i am worried that my rankings are getting ruined and my stats. Ever since i joined ibosocial i have been getting a lot of fake traffic every night and it jumps up my bounce rate and lowers my duration. But i have cancelled my account on there and i keep getting the same amount of fake traffic and it goes to this weird link that is not even a link on my website.

I am hoping my site is not ruined because of this and im not sure what to do. I hate seeing traffic go to that random link thats full of letters and numbers. I am not sure what to do at this point, i wrote a new article like a week ago and i fetched it and everything like normal and it is still not indexed when my articles always get indexed by the next day. So i am really hoping this fake traffic is not hurting me and what i am trying to do.
