RankSonic.net is actually associated with so-called referral spam system, which has been actively attacking Google Analytics recently. If you see this URL on your Google Analytics page, do not think that it is actually driving web traffic to your site. RankSonic.net referral spam only pollutes your Google Analytics data. By affecting websites with the help of referrer spam, spammers aim to make the URLs of their shady websites appear in Google Analytics and make their admins visit these suspicious websites. You should not do so because you can never know where such URLs may lead you to. We recommend you to block RankSonic.net referrer spam by setting an exclude filter. Please see a tutorial how to do that here: RankSonic.net referral spam. How to remove? (Uninstall Guide)
