Website Builder Tutorials: Google Analytics - How to exclude yourself from your website traffic data
This is the third and final video tutorial in our basic guide to Google Analytics.
Up to this point we’ve shown you how easy it is to find out information about how many people are on your website, and what pages they’re look at. But there’s a problem. Because you are the person building your website, you’re also the person who visits it most. So lots of the statistics that you look at on Google analytics is actually yourself looking at your website.
Don’t worry though, there’s a really easy way to exclude yourself - or any other specific visitor - from your website data. All you need to do is set up a ‘filter’. What the video to find out how.
Any questions, please leave them below.



















This is very useful because I build sites for clients and it means that I can give them their stats - hand on heart - and tell them that it’s not just me (or them!) that are visiting the site!
Thanks Ken - look forward to more analytics stuff to follow ;-)

Well you might have noticed that this tutorial ended this first series. But we know Google analytics can offer so much more, and we’ll definitely return to it again…
