: Solutions for filtering dynamic IP addresses in Google Analytics? Without a static IP address from your ISP, what solutions are people using to filter their own web traffic through Google Analytics

Without a static IP address from your ISP, what solutions are people using to filter their own web traffic through Google Analytics to help improve the accuracy of the data?

I get the reasoning and the process for setting up the filter based on IP address, but since my ISP may or may not change my IP at any time, at some point that filter becomes ineffective and I've got to go reset it, correct? Is there a better solution?

Once your website becomes popular this isn't an issue. My own pageviews are 0.0001% of my traffic on my popular websites. I just don't worry about it. Private browsing, bad bots, and referral blockers cause me far more analytics headaches than my own traffic does.

A solution that I considered on a smaller site is suppressing the Analytics snippet when I'm logged into my website. I don't often view much of me website without being logged into it so that I can administer it.
