The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on is a browser plugin which prevents the Google Analytics code from sending data each time you visit any website which uses Google Analytics. Is a useful add-on for programmers and technical workers, whose frequent visits can contaminate the website's stats.
Hi Daniel, Thank you for the interesting article. I manage several accounts of clients with fixed IPs. By now, I had to create the exclusion filters for internal traffic so often that I created a tool for it. It's open source and 100% simply because I wanted to give something back to the community. It creates an exclusion filter for the IP you visit it with, at the click of a button. So you don't have to look up your own IP anymore. Maybe you'll find it useful too (or would even like to mention it in an article). It can be found at www.excludemyip.com. Take care, Michael
