  1. 23.05.2018 Semalt Specialist Tells How To Filter Admin Tra?c In Google Analytics If you had seen the Google Analytics traf?c and found the high bump, the chances are that your website is receiving fake traf?c. It happens to everyone, and there are periods when you will have to set up new websites, work on latest designs and spend lots of time checking the quality of articles you write. All this counts as the visits, but you will end up with incorrect statistics for your site. The only option is to ?lter out the admin traf?c from your Google Analytics account. You can do so with a variety of WordPress plugins. However, if you don't use this content management system or don't wish to clutter your website with plugins, then you can proceed with the following methods de?ned by Max Bell, the Customer Success Manager of Semalt. 1. Exclude the IP address: You should exclude your own IP address so that the traf?c from it is not counted in your Google Analytics account. If you use a computer or work in an of?ce, you should use another technique. To exclude traf?c by the IP address, you should create the custom ?lter in your Google Analytics account. Instruct your Google Analytics application not to consider the hits that come from a particular IP address or multiple IP addresses. Open the Google Analytics account and go to the Filters section. Create a new ?lter and add information about the ?lter name, its type (choose https://rankexperience.com/articles/article1772.html 1/2

Exclude tra?c by the Cookie Content: You can exclude the traf?c by Cookie Content. For this, you cannot lock a ?lter to one IP address or a few IP address. Instead, you reinstall the operating system and clear the cookies. This will prevent the low-quality traf?c from being tracked again. Another way is to create a ?le and add the cookie to the browser. For this, you should create the HTML ?le named as ?lter-traf?c.html and don't forget to add a speci?c content to that ?le. The content is: <html dir="ltr" lang="en-US"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" c /> <titles>Excluding traf?c by the Cookie Content</title> <meta names="robots" c /> 3. Add the ?lter to Google Analytics: Now you have cookies in the browser and should setup the ?lters that can exclude traf?c coming from your own laptop or computer. Once again, go to the Filter section of your Google Analytics account and click on the Custom Filter option. Here, you have to select the Exclude option to exclude the traf?c. The next step is to choose the Filter Pattern section and added the ?lter_traf?c to this section. Filter_traf?c is what you used as the custom variable in body tag of your HTML ?le. Don't forget to save the settings before closing the window. You should remember that this method will exclude the data from the Google Analytics account. If you want to analyze the internal traf?c, then you should use the Cookie Page method and do not apply the ?lters. You can also use the custom segments to ?lter the admin traf?c. Now you can setup ?lters and can exclude the internal traf?c. https://rankexperience.com/articles/article1772.html 2/2
