Comments on: Exclude your own visits in Google Analytics for WordPress blogs

Um, Google Analytics already has a feature that excludes your own ip address. In the main Settings menu, there’s a link at the bottom called “Filters Manager”. Click on it and then click on “+Add Filter”. Then you can change the filter type to “Exclude all traffic from an IP Address”.

Go to:
http://whatsmyipaddress.com/
to get your own ip address.

You have to add backslashes before every dot so if your ip is this:

12.345.67.89

You’d have to type in

12\.345\.67\.89

Though I do understand if you want to speed the loading time of your website for yourself that you’d want to exclude the script entirely.

@JohnTP, thanks for the answers. I haven’t seen the vidio, since the speed is too slow here to see it. I recommended your blog to the world in Chinese on my blog, and I also translated some of your posts into Chinese on Essentialblog.cn. Hope you don’t mind.

Young – on your themes footer.php, I had explained it in the video.

One more thing, I saw a post you put on your blog about this site with my pic but could not read it as it was in another language. What is it?

John,

Thanks for sharing the code. I don’t use Google Analytics yet. I’m little focused on my content recently and need to get my acts together on tracking the stats better.
