    If you are using windows you can block Google Analytics from tracking you by editing your windows "host" file.

    Yes, there is a way: use to the "Filter Manager" in Analytics (the link can be found at the bottom right of the overview page). You can set it up so that it doesn't collect data from your own IP address.
