Block Your Views And Actions From Being Counted In Your Google Analytics
Google Analytics can be used to track your blog or website performance
and they offer unrivaled data on every aspect of your site.But while the
stats are extremely accurate and up to date because Analytics track
every single user your reports are being inflated - By You.Most bloggers and webmasters
spend a lot of time on their own sites and the page views and actions
taken by the site owner are also included and this will jeopardise the
accuracy.
However you can stop Analytics from tracking your
actions on your site and be sure the stats are more accurate.A blogger
simply replying to comments or updating posts could add 50-100 page
views to their stats.
To prevent this we simply remove our IP
from being tracked and here is how it's done.

Super helpful. Always wondered how to remove my own visits. This makes a big difference on a lower traffic blog - I'd rather see the truth.
