I'm using both Google Analytics and Yottaa for my website. Yottaa bots send quite a lot a traffic (relatively to the normal traffic of my website), and thus my Google Analytics is kind of flooded by that.

I don't know how to tell Yottaa bots traffic and normal human traffic apart on Google Analytics. How to do that?

Earlier this month I wrote a detailed post "How to segment and filter out robot traffic [in Google Analytics]" with step-by-step instructions and screenshots. Enjoy!

I found a solution.

Since Nov 4 2010 Yottaa bots identify themselves by "YottaaMonitor" in the User-Agent string (at least it's the name that appears in Google Analytics).

I created an "Advanced Segment" (i.e. a filter) with a single rule : Browser does not match YottaaMonitor. This segment now contains only the normal "human" traffic I wanted.

Problem solved :-)
