In google-analytics for my website, I noticed unexpected traffic referred by social-buttons.com. I don't use the social button code supplied by this website, However, I use addthis.com codes beside other custom apis from other social networks such as LinkedIn, twitter and Facebook.
The following is a screen shot for referral data in yesterday:
I tried to find any data on social-buttons.com, but it is just a simple page with code of their social buttons with no any additional information, so, I need to know any explanation for the cause of getting this traffic to my website.

This is not valid traffic, it is called Referrer Spam, this kind of spam uses a Google Analytics weakness to make fake visits to your site, so they actually never visit your site.
This Ghost Referrer Spam targets random GA tracking ID's with the only purpose of getting traffic from people that get curious about the referral in their analytics and try to go to the site, so don't go there.
