Almost everyone wants to exclude their own traffic from their Google Analytics results in order to accurately analyse and monitor the data that they are gathering. This is a pretty simple task if you have a static IP, or use a small range of IPs, but if you have a completely variable one (like me) it can be really difficult to get accurate results – especially when you’re constantly visiting your site with new updates and posts.
There are a couple of ways by which you can exclude variable URLs that I know of. One is to set a cookie in all of the browsers that you use to access the site (There are plenty of articles out there that will show you how to do this such as this one by Google). But this takes time and if you are using multiple computers it can be a bit of a pain. Also, it is possible to remove cookies by mistake in some browsers (such as Internet Explorer) which is no good either…
