: Someone else is using our Google Analytics Tracking code number. What do we do? After looking over our Analytics today, I realized that another website is also using our same tracking code #,

Another commenter mentioned using filters to INCLUDE only your own hostname. I've done this myself and it works great and kills a lot of spam referrals to boot.

One thing to be wary of is that you don't set this on the "all website data" view. Create a new view and name it accordingly to preserve the raw data for the whole site.

You can exclude the hostname sending data to your profile by setting up an exclude filter.

Alternatively, it might be better if you set up just an include filter for your own hostname to ensure you don't see anything like that in the future.

Google Analytics Filters - you might want to set up a rule/filter to "Include only traffic from the domains equal to" YourDomain.net.
