For example, if somebody share your page on facebook, facebook will open your website to take a snapshot for thumbnail photos. this process will repeat for each new shares. Normally you might think you are getting lot of visitors, but in fact they are all Facebook thumbnail generator bots trying to open your website and get list of photos to show them upon sharing.
