I too would like to exclude my own traffic from GA. Now that the Custom Footer code for applying GA to SM sites has been superseded, how does one apply the exclude code referenced in this thread? I have tried using the exclude domain filter in GA (and that probably works but seems a little heavy-handed as it will exclude other visits to my site from within my company domain), and I've set an IP exclude (but I'm in a DHCP environment and don't know how often my IP lease expires). So the exclude if logged in option seems like a good fix seeing I don't understand the cookie option. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Tried this:
For the ones looking to block your own traffic (logged in or not), you can use the IP filtering on google analytics. Follow these steps:
- find your external IP via http://whatismyip.org
- go to your Google Analytics account, go into Filter Manager
- Add a new filter
* choose exclude from the IP addresses
* don't forget to select your website profile via add below
But can't seem to get my ip excluded. What does the last line mean? Any help appreciated!
