How do I create a predefined filter?

Google Analytics includes three predefined filters to make the most common filtering tasks as easy as possible:

• Exclude all traffic from a domain: Google Analytics uses reverse IP lookup to find the domain of your users - use this filter to discount traffic from particular domains. Domains usually represent the ISP of your visitor; larger companies may have their IP addresses mapped to their domain name rather than to their ISP's (google.com, for example). To remove traffic figures related to visitors from mycompanysnetwork.com, for example, enter:

mycompanysnetwork\.com$

• Exclude all traffic from an IP address: If you'd like to exclude internal traffic from your reports (such as traffic from your home or company intranet), or any other specific IP addresses, you can set up a filter in your profile with the IP address or addresses to disregard. The IP address field will auto-populate with an example IP address - you'll need to update this with your specific values. Remember to use regular expressions when entering any IP address.

For example, if the IP address to filter is:

192.168.1.1

then the IP address value will be:

192\.168\.1\.1

You may also enter a range of IP addresses. For example, if the range is:

192.168.1.1-25 and 10.0.0.1-14

then the IP address value will be:

^192\.168\.1\.([1-9]|1[0-9]|2[0-5])$|^10\.0\.0\.([1-9]|1[0-4])$

• Include only traffic to a subdirectory : If there are certain subdirectories of your website that you'd like to track, you can create a filter to only report on traffic to that directory. In the Subdirectory field, replace mydir with the subdirectory you would like to track, leaving the ^/ and / in place. For example, if you'd like to track www.example.com/motorcycles, enter:

^/motorcycles/
