Deploying Google Analytics With Django

Question

We\'re about to deploy a new Django website, and we want to use Google Analytics to keep track of traffic on the site. However, we don\'t want all of the hits on developmen

Answer 1

All of these other solutions may work, but they are all overkill now because you can easily set up a filter in Google Analytics to filter out all traffic that is not coming from your production website or websites. See Create/Manage Profile Filters in the GA Help. A solution with no code just makes everybody's life easier.

Note: there are two caveats

1. this doesn't work with realtime filtering, because no filters are applied to realtime (as of July 2012--check their documents)
2. you have to be an admin with the Google Analytics account to set this up
