Is it a good idea to filter our own IP addresses from our own websites in Google Analytics?On the one hand, the data is real but on the other are you losing browny points with Google as your getting less visits?Maybe I'm not understanding the filtering!?
Filtering your own IP's in Google Analytics, good or bad idea?
google analytics
Google does not use traffic to rank web pages.But you should still filter your IP address out of Google Analtyics if your goal is to have accurate statistics as to how many users you have and how they are using your site. You're only fooling yourself if you count your own visits in your site statistics.
