I have blocked my IP from analytics to show fairer results, is there a way of blocking everyone in my company, is there a larger IP that the whole office would go through, or would I have to block each individual IP?
I would think your whole office would share one ip address. You can check it by going to ipchicken.com from a few different computers to see if they're at the same ip address. If each computer really does have a separate ip address, are they a consecutive range? I think you could use regular expressions in analytics to exclude a range of ip addresses. Something like 123\.456\.789\.[12-98]
I use Google Analytics on one of my sites (just a few pages though). I always wondered that too. Thanks for the info ColeenB.
Can someone please explain how you can block an IP through Analytics? Thanks so much in advance - I didn't even know it was possible.
how to block ip from analytics? it can do it from that, i just know now .... can you explain how can u do that?
to block one IP address you just go in to the Filter Manager section of analytics and just exclude certain IP's. Very useful if you spend a lot of time on your own site as you will create invalid results like visitors spend on average 4hrs on your site, when 99% of that time is yourself.
