Help me exclude our dynamic IP addresses from GA
-
Hi There,
I can't believe we are the first SEO Web Development company with the issue of dynamic IP addresses, for technical reasons our ISP keeps changing our IP addresses to different random IP addresses (no patterns, ranges, or reasoning to the specific changes) and we obviously need to exclude our own visits to google analytics - but I can't seem to find any simple way to do this in Google Analytics - can you help me find a simple solution for this?
I did find two chrome extensions(I'll give you the links to those at the end) that I will look into if you cant help me find a simpler solution
Thanks so much!!

It's that or call your phone company and ask for options. I know in my area I can get a static IP address by upgrading my phone plan but don't want to do that.

Thanks, Donna!!!
You are making me feel quite normal. I kept thinking that there is some elusive simple setting that I can't figure out, or something.
I will look into the extension you use.
Thanks again

You're not alone. I use a browser extension (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) because I have not found a way to block dynamic IP addresses in Google Analytics.
-
Thanks for your time,
I did lots of research, and I saw this one too, however, the browser extensions are still simpler.
Now I am looking for something even simpler, like did I miss some little nitty function.
I'll give it another day or two and then I am on to the extensions

Did some brief research on this and the following looks like an interesting option to test out. Good luck! https://carloseo.com/exclude-dynamic-ip-google-analytics/

Sort referring sites by visit change over time comparison in GA
I can't believe I've never done this before, so I'm going to assume that I previously must have figured it out via excel, but I'm hoping there's an easier way. So I want to compare the referring sites between April and May and see which have sent (specifically) less traffic. The problem with doing a comparison in GA is that it only sorts by the highest traffic for May, when actually I want to see the largest negative change (by number, not percentage) between April and May. Is there a way to do this via the dashboard or am I just going to have to play about in excel for 10 minutes?

GA dropping source due to 3rd party checkout?
So I am trying to track ecommerce transactions on a Prostores site and GA is dropping the source because the checkout is on prostores domain instead of the store domain. All ecommerce transactions show a source of the actual website as a referral. I've read googles documentation on tracking across multiple domains but just can't quite get it right. Can anyone help me out? Here is my tracking code: ss:commentdo nothing</ss:comment>
