My google analytics page shows a few referrals from

adtiger.tk
getrichquick.ml


I'm not a "ProWebmaster" - just administering a small site hosted by my university. My newbie question: do I need to worry about this?

If the answer is "yes" I can probably manage to implement this answer:

Thrre is no need to worry about this as it does not affect your server at all it only affects Google Analytics. If your interested in knowing how it has been done you can see details on it at www.blackmoreops.com/2014/12/19/darodar-com-referrer-spam/
This is an attack on Google Analytics and to try and trick webmasters into visiting the site by inserting fake referals into your GA logs. If you double check your server logs and applucation logs you will see no actual referred connections from darodar.com or the associated IP addresses.
