Oh Teisha - I have no idea why this is happening I just wanted say Ugh! It is very curious....
I think
wp-admin/index-extra.php
wp-admin/ajax.php
wp-admin/load-scripts.php
wp-admin/widgets.php
wp-admin/load-styles.php
is just you access your domain via wordpress though?

Create a new user in the wordpress admin part of your blog. Make it an admin level. Once you have proven it works, go in and delete the admin account. You now log into your blog using the new account rather than admin.
Since hackers know admin is the default account, they use it to try to break passwords. You can also use plugins like Login Lockdown to limit the number of tries someone can make before locking the account down.
You live, and you learn. I've been around the block a couple of times, and
still this thread has been an eye-opener!
This one I knew about....they may have linked to your site with their cookie stuffing link for aweber
This one I didn't!They can also be testing an adwords campaign. To get an initial high quality score you select a site that is already optimzied toward the keywords you are setting up a campaign for.
Or this one!And it is also possible they are trying to sell a site they don't own too.
Wow.

I am glad I could provide two reasons you hadn't thought of The first one I read about (don't remember where). An author was doing a seminar about the Lord of the Rings movies. He tested several titles out to find out which one got the highest click through rate. He sent the ads to the LOTR site so he would start out with a high quality score. He spent about $20 testing titles before doing offline advertising for it.
The second one (Selling a site you don't own) is just my own devious mind at work thinking how someone might scam people. Working in risk management can sometimes give you an odd perspective on things
Have you tried a Whois to find out, um, who is doing this?
Also might be worth phoning your host to see if they can see what the heck is going on.
