how do I block my own IP address in google analytics

Dear Friends,
If one was to do that, doesn't that mean it would stop all traffic, even the traffic you want?our WA emails?
Blessings
Bethamy.

i dont think sooo. i hope not

I'll have to try that myself. That's probably why all these sites are getting my IP address. Thanks

sooo i figured it out!! go to google analytics then click admin on the top ...then Fiter under all website tools on the right.... click new filter... Name "exclude my ip" Then select "traffic from my ip address" in the drop down menu... =) then type your ip address in the blanks (if don't know it, google what is my ip address) then SAVE

DONE =)

Fantastic! Thanks for this, I was wanting to know how to do this myself. Off to try it out! :)

this came in handy today .. thanks!!

Thank you Sharlie!

I think it's a very valid question, and I am sure some clever people could easily answer it, gut feeling is it's google you need to talk to

I would like the answer to that one. My website is on 1st page of Google search. These domain selling sites give out my name and IP address, some with a map. They have no right to do that, it should have been private.

Why would you want to? Not sure what you are trying to accomplish. More info could help me give you a much better answer.

I think its so that when you visit your website that Google doesn't count it as a visit.

Hello everyone. I'm considering joining rodan and fields but I wanted to know if I could create a content site to promote that. They provide a website and then I could link to th

thanks Empress!! VERY TRUE

Hi, I just saw this discussion and wanted to add my 2 cents. I'm in a similar situation as you. I recently decided to start selling Avon and I created a blog around my new business. So I'm using it promote the products and grow my team.
It going pretty good. Still trying to find my voice, but things are coming along.
Here's my website, if you wanna take a look:

www.beautymakeupmarketing.com

I say all of this to say, I think you should go for it and create a website around your rodan and fields business. You can create content around the products, but you can also create content around the problems that rodan and fields products address. For example, they have products that have to do with anti-aging, I think. So do some research and find out specific problems that people are looking to solve. Write content that will generally help anyone out. This will give you some creditable. Then every other post or so write about the actually products. Become a skincare expert in your write and help people see the value of the products that you're offering.

You can also target people who are looking to either start their own rodan and fields business or rodan and fields reps that are looking to bring their business online (forwarding them to WA). This is a great way to not only grow your rodan and fields team, but it would also grow your WA referrals.

Wow THANK YOU!!! that is excellent ideas!! I really appreciate your insight and ideas!! I didn't think about promoting WA as well. Wow EYE OPENING ! nice site!! Hows your traffic???

wow very interesting... I like your site... But i don't have 2 years of child development created.... I like the idea of the mailing list a lot...but I don't know if can do that just yet... But if you put all your content in a ebook... all your keywords would be in their so how do you draw traffic to your site?? YES A LOT to learn crazy but FUN!!

Hi, Let me back up a minute. I like your site, it makes sense. I think other people will like it as well. What I was trying to covey is a way to keep those visitors coming back. Suggesting the CD E-book was only to put forth an idea to come up with something as a way to entice the visitor to come back. It can be any topic you choose related to your site. In fact You can even put a banner or box near the top of you home page that just says: don't miss out on any of my future posts. Sign up here to get updates. I did something similar to that on a site I just put online this past week. Writing of the blog for the site is still in the works, but, I want wanted visitors to know that they could be kept up to date. http://www.imagamester.com I just put some text with click here and I'm getting sign ups. I know people can bookmark your site, but just think of yourself, how many bookmarks do you have that you haven't looked at in a while. That is why I believe getting a signup is important. Everywhere you shop they are trying to add you to there mail list. Today I bought something a The Home Depot and at check-out I was asked if i wanted the register receipt or did i want it e-mailed to me. Now, that's a clever way to get someone on the list.
My intension was never to tell you how, but, to suggest.

Monitoring traffic can be done via Google analytics https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/manually-adding-google-analytics-to-your-website

As to drawing traffic to your site, follow the training. You've just had two babies; your beautiful girl and your website. They both have to crawl before they walk before they run. It is a process that takes time.

Thank you so much for all your help. I really appreciate it!! Im really liking the mailing list idea!!! then as I build content it could be an ebook.. I like your site. Great idea. Now I need to learn HOW to do the mailing list. and I think Im going to create another site for ROdan and fields.... might be put the other one on hold for now... Thats a lot to take on all at once. =)

Thanks Empress!! Very true!! I have done that Tutorial and have it set up. =)

You continue adding content to your site. You could make the ebook - ( The first 2 years of a childs development. ) What you want to do is get them to join your mailing list. It will work for any site. Here is one of my sites http://www.scriptwarehouse.info
I give them access to some free scripts only when they sign up as a free member. They can upgrade if they choose but I have their contact info to let them know when I add anything new to the site and also if I want to send them an offer from 1 of my other sites. There is a lot to learn about working online and I thing there is vast knowledge hanging around the halls of WA.

I replied to the whole thread on accident sorry

MLM is not for everybody, and yet, many involved in them thrive. Life is full of experiences and you should get as many as possible, and then you can decide if it is a good one or not.
Is the rodan and fields going to be another page of your site, or will it be an advertisement ? Will you be offering certain products or all their products ? Do they provide you with your own Landing page to their site ?

Thank you for your positive outlook :) Yes they provide a landing site where they can order products through there directly I think my content would be around wrinkles , acne, protection from the sun etc Then I would prob review or high their products. But I'm not sure the best way to do it. :)

Most sites like that will give you a landing page that has your affiliate name or number in the landing page link. That way no matter what page or what they buy you will receive credit. I would still recommend
having a second website and use your niche site to advertise it. Then you can also use the second site to advertise the first.
That way you are drawing people to your niche site to sell your niche product, not face cream.
You can go to webestools . com (it's free) and make your own promotion banners to use and nice ones too.
This is all just my opinion and just like noses everyone has one to stick in somewhere. Good Luck and when you decide send me the website(s) address so I can take a look.

Wow you have a wealth of knowledge and ideas. Im sooo thankful for your time and help. :) l think i will follow your advice on the advertising. I didn't even know that was possible. But question Wouldn't they realize I'm the same person because of the about me??? Yes if they purchase a anything I would a commission. :) My current site is www.mytoysfordevelopment.com. I just joined a less than two weeks ago and trying to get content up. Thanks for your help.

[ But question Wouldn't they realize I'm the same person because of the about me??? ] Your about me page, if you choose to have one, ( It is optional ) is about you and your knowledge and expertise with rand & fields. I would think it will be totally different from Fun Development, and Yes, some will put it together that both sites are the same person,
but, they chose to click on the attractive advertising banner you had strategically placed on your site for them to see.
I like your website and for the very first venture it is quite good.
Are you getting any traffic to it ? I have a couple suggestions whenever you are ready for them. Also, only the first Bright Starts Giggle Garden Activity Gym link is working, the other two go to a oops ! page.

Very true on the about me. Thanks for info on the broken links. I would love feedback!!! :)

I don't know if I'm getting traffic. Have not learned how to tell yet

Hi. How ya doin ? Hope you had an enjoyable family weekend.
Last we talked ( I don't know if I'm getting traffic. Have not learned how to tell yet ) I just saw where the live training webinar last week was on Google Analytics. I have not seen it yet but it will probably give you a good idea on how it works.
Next about your website.
I suggest you eliminate the child development page. Woo, wait a minute, hear me out. Take all the information from the page and all thoughts on what you may be thinking of adding to it and put them in the form of an E-Book. You could call it something like, A Guide To Your Childs Development. Then what you do is offer it free, to all the visitors to your site, when they sign up for your mailing list.
The mailing list then give to the opportunity to get visitors back to your site by updating them on new developments and new products you may have found. Remember, you are an authority on Child Development. Your many years as a teacher, observing students,
and your own child, make you an expert.
I do not use word press, so, any tech questions you have on it will have to come from someone else. I do however, use a auto responder
and will be glad to send you that info if you want. And don't fret the ebook all it amounts to is a PDF. file.

mmmm an ebook...like your idea but what content would be on my site?? is the question?? =) I do like the idea getting their email and inviting to come back.... I really like your thinking and help... Maybe I could do something similiar for other site as well... =)

I had never heard of rodan and fields but googled them. For me, even just taking a very quick look at their products and compensation plan means I personally wouldn't touch them. They seem to have excellent products but these are fairly expensive (which they have to be because otherwise the company wouldn't be able to afford to pay out the compensation plan).

You will immediately be buying expensive products - possibly $395 worth since you will need products in order to sell anything. They say that the $45 business portfolio is all you need to get started. That may be true, but then you don't have any products. When I was in network marketing we kept hearing 'Would you start a shoe shop without a single pair of shoes? Of course not....'

I believe one thing that makes network marketing easier now than when I did it is because you can do a lot online.

You mention you have a good friend who is a distributor. I suppose it is she who told you about it and you would be joining directly under her. I also suppose you have already bought products from her and tried them and liked them. That would be the first step. You need to have used the products and liked them so you can honestly talk about them. If that is the case and you know enough people (ideally ones that your friend doesn't know) who have enough money to buy expensive products, then that could work for you to generate income more quickly. But it depends a lot on your personality as to whether you can succeed at this. And I believe, looking at your profile picture, that you could.

But you absolutely must have a separate website. You cannot possibly combine it with your niche site. And you definitely do want to have your own website with a link to the company website that they give you where they can buy the product. I would suggest, if you really want to go ahead with this, then you should create some sort of skincare or wellness site. The problem is likely to be that in rodan and fields terms they may state that you are not allowed to promote any competing products. And obviously, if you had a skincare or wellness site, you might want to do that. And the rodan and fields range seems to be quite limited.

But if you follow the advice given by mdmaxx then you are absolutely right, the visitors to your site will most likely think 'Of course she is saying this because she is a distributor and needs to sell the products.' They are not likely to be searching for rodan and fields products. If they know about them, they most likely already have a distributor from whom they buy. And if they are searching for skincare solutions then they would want an unbiased view.

Hope this helps. Be very careful!!!!! (I still have vastly expensive skincare creams that I am using from my network marketing endeavours 10 years ago....)

Also you ask whether there is someone doing something similar. I know baietti is a Herbalife distributor who created a site around this. If you go to her profile you can look at her website and also at her blog 'Amazon has rejected me'. Her profile name is baietti.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

Wow thank you sooo much for all your insight and info. I really appreciate it. :) yes that's what I'm worried about is the lack of trust in the site if I'm only reviewing RF products. Yes products are expensive but they priced to their competition. I will content her. Thank you for your help. :) I'm still working on my other site. No big hits yet. But it's only been a week and half

I didn't realize that you were planning to get involved in network marketing. I have advice for you that I gained from bitter experience. My advice is ...DON'T. First they will tell you all about your Circle of Influence. When you follow their advice, the result will be that your friends and family will HATE to see you coming. You will spend a lot of energy, spend a lot of money and end up with nothing. Maybe your family will still love you, but you will have probably lost all your friends.
You have made your way to WA. This site is pure GOLD. If you follow the training laid out by Kyle and Carson, exactly as they've laid it out, you can go all the way to millionaire status, depending on your drive, your robust work ethic, and whether or not you can FOCUS on the task at hand. Many have done it here, and you can, too. Stop looking for the next shiny scam coming down the pike...They only lead to heartbreak. Focus your energies here and by this time next year, your life circumstances will have totally changed. You will surprise yourself, as you book a three month tour of Europe with your Honey. It's worth working toward! PS: While you are on tour, your business will be clicking right along. You'll be richer when you come home than you were when you left! It's all up to you...

Thank you for so much for your feedback!! I really appreciate it!! I def happy to be HERE and not looking for FAST get rich skim but I would like to make some money a little sooner. One of my good friends sells Rodan and Fields. She still has her friends and family....lol!! I think with network marketing it depends on the company and how one approaches it.... There are some that are awful. Im still considering joining RF... I want to stay home with my baby and I need some income soon. =)

I don't think it is a good idea to use someone else's website. I, myself, have had a terrible time with Blogger, which is Google's free blogging platform. At WA, you could have two free websites. I have never heard of anyone having problems with Siterubix. If you did, help is right at hand. When you go premium, You can buy a domain name, which will be your own piece of real estate on the web. Domain names are about ten bucks for a year, give or take. Then you would have hosting through WA, which will not cost you anything ,ore than the monthly premium fee.
Before you do any of this, though, you would be well advised to go through the Getting Started training. You will be helped to pick a niche. There is so much to do and to know before you jump into a website. I think many people here have said that they regretted not focusing on one niche in the beginning. Old Chinese proverb: "Man who chases two hares will catch neither". The fastest way to start making money is to chose Getting Started or the Affiliate Boot Camp and let Kyle and Carson lead you to the knowledge you need. Believe me...They know what they are doing. Lots of luck!.

Thank you for your feedback but I already have a niche site and I have a premium account. I have started the training im on course 3 lesson 8 I understand the concept of the affiliate site but I was wondering of adding a network marketing to it to additional site.

I would. whybuyfromrodanandfields.com is available.
Set up your website with content on why you would use and recommend eah product and link to the product page.

Ok thank you for the help. I already started a page in a different niche but I guess I could do both???? But they maybe too much. Idk

By all means do it. As a Premium member you have hosting. I just picked that name and looked it up at allcheepweb.com and it was $8.
Where else can you be in business for $8. You are already experienced setting up 1 website why not 2. or maybe 6.

I just worried that the readers won't TRUST me because I would only be promoting ONE brand of products.

And if they are searching for skincare solutions then they would want an unbiased view.

Hope this helps. Be very careful!!!!! (I still have vastly expensive skincare creams that I am using from my network marketing endeavours 10 years ago....)

Also you ask whether there is someone doing something similar. I know baietti is a Herbalife distributor who created a site around this. If you go to her profile you can look at her website and also at her blog 'Amazon has rejected me'. Her profile name is baietti.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

Wow thank you sooo much for all your insight and info. I really appreciate it. :) yes that's what I'm worried about is the lack of trust in the site if I'm only reviewing RF products. Yes products are expensive but they priced to their competition. I will content her. Thank you for your help. :) I'm still working on my other site. No big hits yet. But it's only been a week and half

I didn't realize that you were planning to get involved in network marketing. I have advice for you that I gained from bitter experience. My advice is ...DON'T. First they will tell you all about your Circle of Influence. When you follow their advice, the result will be that your friends and family will HATE to see you coming. You will spend a lot of energy, spend a lot of money and end up with nothing. Maybe your family will still love you, but you will have probably lost all your friends.
You have made your way to WA. This site is pure GOLD. If you follow the training laid out by Kyle and Carson, exactly as they've laid it out, you can go all the way to millionaire status, depending on your drive, your robust work ethic, and whether or not you can FOCUS on the task at hand. Many have done it here, and you can, too. Stop looking for the next shiny scam coming down the pike...They only lead to heartbreak. Focus your energies here and by this time next year, your life circumstances will have totally changed. You will surprise yourself, as you book a three month tour of Europe with your Honey. It's worth working toward! PS: While you are on tour, your business will be clicking right along. You'll be richer when you come home than you were when you left! It's all up to you...

Thank you for so much for your feedback!! I really appreciate it!! I def happy to be HERE and not looking for FAST get rich skim but I would like to make some money a little sooner. One of my good friends sells Rodan and Fields. She still has her friends and family....lol!! I think with network marketing it depends on the company and how one approaches it.... There are some that are awful. Im still considering joining RF... I want to stay home with my baby and I need some income soon. =)

I don't think it is a good idea to use someone else's website. I, myself, have had a terrible time with Blogger, which is Google's free blogging platform. At WA, you could have two free websites. I have never heard of anyone having problems with Siterubix. If you did, help is right at hand. When you go premium, You can buy a domain name, which will be your own piece of real estate on the web. Domain names are about ten bucks for a year, give or take. Then you would have hosting through WA, which will not cost you anything ,ore than the monthly premium fee.
Before you do any of this, though, you would be well advised to go through the Getting Started training. You will be helped to pick a niche. There is so much to do and to know before you jump into a website. I think many people here have said that they regretted not focusing on one niche in the beginning. Old Chinese proverb: "Man who chases two hares will catch neither". The fastest way to start making money is to chose Getting Started or the Affiliate Boot Camp and let Kyle and Carson lead you to the knowledge you need. Believe me...They know what they are doing. Lots of luck!.

Thank you for your feedback but I already have a niche site and I have a premium account. I have started the training im on course 3 lesson 8 I understand the concept of the affiliate site but I was wondering of adding a network marketing to it to additional site.

I would. whybuyfromrodanandfields.com is available.
Set up your website with content on why you would use and recommend eah product and link to the product page.

Ok thank you for the help. I already started a page in a different niche but I guess I could do both???? But they maybe too much. Idk

By all means do it. As a Premium member you have hosting. I just picked that name and looked it up at allcheepweb.com and it was $8.
Where else can you be in business for $8. You are already experienced setting up 1 website why not 2. or maybe 6.

I just worried that the readers won't TRUST me because I would only be promoting ONE brand of products.
