So I saw this correct, to eliminate spam and crawlers bots giving me false readings on Analytics, I only require my own domain name to be in the newly created hostname filter ?

Thereby only genuine searching folks will be recorded, have I got this right because right now I have zero hits and I am concerned I have shut out everyone! Unless I genuinely have no hits, which is worrying to say the least.

I have only had this filter running for a day though, perhaps I need to give it more time.

But I had to stop secret.google.com vote for Trump and o-0-8-0-0.com spam hitting me up, the only thing was though that site domain for both of thes didn't appear in the list, it was under 'not set', so I eliminated all of that too.

Would one of you experts please reassure me that this is correct what I have done regarding the filtering?

Have a great Monday
