A Reminder

That's it for this tutorial for how to block your own IP address in Google Analytics.

It's easy to set up and doing this will ensure that you have a more accurate view of your numbers.

As a reminder, check your IP address periodically.

The reason I thought of this tutorial was because I noticed that my own page views on my site were being tracked.

(How did I know? I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who would be on page 34 of my blog roll.)

Some IP addresses change from time to time.

I have noticed mine changes every few months.

So give it a check if you notice anything suspicious.

An Alternative

If you'd rather not deal with worrying about your IP address changing, and you want a different method to block your own page views from showing up in Google Analytics, Jovo (usename jvranjes) gave an alternative in the comments below.

You could use Google's Opt-Out Browser Add-On:

I haven't personally tested it myself, but I just wanted to give you the information.

That concludes this tutorial.

Thank you!
