    I’ve been noticing that with every page load through out my site there are numerous calls by my browser to skimresources.com. I did a search and found this info about them…. ‘skimresources.com is a domain used by Skimlinks which is an analytics company that is part of a network of sites, cookies, and other technologies used to track you, what you do and what you click on, as you go from site to site, surfing the Web. Over time, sites like skimresources.com can help make an online profile of you usually including the sites you visit, your searches, purchases, and other behavior. Your profile can then be exchanged and sold between various companies like skimresources.com as well as being sold to other advertisers and marketers.’

    My question is how and why is my installation of wordpress doing this and how can I get rid of it?

    I figured it out. the problem was my browser, not wordpress. Apparently there was a plugin or extension installed on firefox that was doing it.
    I disabled all extensions and plugins and it stopped.
