Google Analytics has a way of excluding certain visits to a site based on the presence of a special cookie. Many resources suggest that you create a "hidden" Web page to accomplish this, but that's difficult to do with Blogger. There is a workaround, however.
First, make sure you have
Google Analytics installed and running on your blog.
Next, from each Web browser you use, pull up your blog. Once the page has fully loaded, enter the following javascript in the browser's location bar and press return/enter:
javascript:pageTracker._setVar('notrack');alert('cookie set');That will set a "notrack" cookie on your browser.
Finally, sign into your Google Analytics account and
create a custom filter to exclude all visitors that have the "notrack" cookie set. The filter values should be:
Filter Type: Custom filter > Exclude
Filter Field: User Defined
Filter Pattern: notrack
Case Sensitive: No
Google Analytics should now begin ignoring your visits.
This approach isn't specific to Blogger; it should work on any site, including other blogging platforms such as Wordpress and Movable Type.
Also, to make it simpler to set the cookie, you may want to create a bookmark with the above javascript. Once added, simply go to your blog and select the bookmark.
