    If you are using GA Brian Cliftons "Advanced Web Analytics with Google Analytics" book has a solution to this problem.

    Oh and for the record i'm not Brian Clifton, I just thought the book was great!!

    Just go into GA and exclude your IP.

    that works if you have a static IP, a lot of the broadband companies will provide them at an additional cost nowadays.

    Failing that as mentioned there is a solution in the above book..

    You can exclude all the traffic from an IP address or a range of IP addresses from filter manager in the analytics setting. For dynamic IP, you can exclude traffic by cookie.

    blocking IP is the answer if it's static. Otherwise if it's a site where you login then you could create a php if statment something like below. Basically the google anaytics code only show's if your not the admin and that way it won't record you.

    if(!user = 'admin') {
    show google anaytics code here
    }
    PHP:
    You could expand on this and could use if for certain groups eg:
    if(!group = 'staff') {
    show google anaytics code here
    }
    PHP:
    NB: you have to modify the above code to suit your site and groups etc.

    In many countries such as India lots more people share one IP address. Blocking a range their could block millions of people. Their are suitations where blocking an IP address isn't enough or apporpiate. I was mearly offering an alternative in such cases.

    Ad Block Plus.
    Install the plugin on your browser, Visit your site, click the "ABP" icon on your browsers toolbar, you will see a list of scripts, images etc that load with the page, right click on "http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js" and choose "Block this item" from the drop down menu :)

    Cheers

    Mr Happy has the most sensible and pragmatic approach for larger sites or people with dynamic ips. It's what I'd recommend and only takes a teeny bit of programming.
