Exclude your traffic from Google Analytics

Monday 11th of May 2009

If you are concerned that your visits are skewing your web stats in Google Analytics there is a very easy fix to this.

 For Internet Explorer do the following:

  1. Go to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC on your hardrive using windows explorer
  2. Open the 'HOSTS' file with Notepad
  3. Enter these 2 lines

    127.0.0.1 www.google-analytics.com
    127.0.0.1 ssl.google-analytics.com

And thats it. Google will no longer track your movements.
