My website keeps getting referral traffic from another website that i would like filter out from my Google Analytics data because its messing up my stats. I tried "exclude all traffic from a domain" under filter settings but its not working. :confused: Can someone point me in the right direction please?

    Hi,

    Get the site's IP address (you can use a free online tool to do that) and then create a filter using that. Should work.

    HTH,

    Thank you .... I did a whois lookup on the website and I set up the filter to block the ip let me wait a day or two to see if it worked.

    or .. you may setup a php script to check for the referrer and don't show the analytics code if it's from that site.

    Worked?
