    Hey guys, my question is mainly based on Google Analytics.
    Is there a way to exclude certain websites from the analytic reports?

    Also, what would be the most important setting for SEO tracking/goals
    in the analytics panel?

    Thanks!

    bizjam, I think you can use Filters in Custom reports to filter out the data you don't need. For example, you go to Filter, choose Traffic sources, choose exclude and type in the URL you want to exclude.
    Honestly speaking, I haven't tried that myself, but I've seen the option.

    The most important setting.. hmm, i think it depends. Each website has its goal. Besides, some websites rely more on SEO, or more on paid traffic, or on social media, referrals... So, I think that depends on the SEO campaign.

    For example, I use keyword tracker software that incorporates Google Analytics. So, I would track ranking and visits together. And then I would check on bounce rates and goal completion in GA.
