Is there a way to stop Google Analytics counting development work as hits?

Question

I have added the JavaScript that I need to the bottom of my pages so that I can make use of Google Analytics. Only problem is that I am sure that it is counting all my devel

Answer 1

get the request host variable.

So wrap an if statement around the analytics javascript like this (Ruby-esque pseudocode):

dfsfsdf
if not (request.host == 'localhost')
  #analytics code here
elsif (request.host == the server's ip/domain)
  #analytics code here
else
  #do nothing
end
