This is not good as your stats result gets skewed - you think there is a huge spike, but actually the spike is your visits. Duh. The tip is about a simple way to prevent your own visit to be counted. That way, you can be sure that every morning when you check your stats, all the visits exclude yours. 1 - Open the host file. Start > Run > Open: C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc 2 - Add the following lines to your host file: 127.0.0.1 www.google-analytics.com 127.0.0.1 google-analytics.com 127.0.0.1 ssl.google-analytics.com 3 - Save and restart your browser. Have you heard of this approach? Does anyone else have the same issue? Hi Rosalind,

I just learnt a tip today about Google Analytics counting your own visit as unique visits. This is not good as your stats result gets skewed – you think there is a huge spike, but actually the spike is your visits. Duh.

The tip is about a simple way to prevent your own visit to be counted. That way, you can be sure that every morning when you check your stats, all the visits exclude yours.

1 – Open the host file. Start > Run > Open: C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
2 – Add the following lines to your host file:
127.0.0.1 http://www.google-analytics.com
127.0.0.1 google-analytics.com
127.0.0.1 ssl.google-analytics.com
3 – Save and restart your browser.

Have you heard of this approach? Does anyone else have the same issue?

Feeling "pressure from stock holders to maintain its phenomenal growth in profits" doesn't force a company's decision-makers to make bad loans --- greed does and the Rep. administration failed to take action when the fallout began to take place. The biggest downside to unfettered capitalism should now be evident to everyone... it's a system that rewards just a few at the expense of many. If banks were to guarantee 5 or 6 percent mortgage interest rates, everyone would benefit - borrowers, lenders, builders, etc., etc., etc., ... i.e. the whole economy. What really gets me is that many of these sub-prime mortgages started off at more than 7 percent, then jumped to over 11 percent at a time when we here in Canada were picking up longer term mortgages at rates between 5 and 6 percent. Ridiculous greed --- clearly not part of the Democratic ideal. A good idea (extending the possibility of home ownership to people with moderate incomes) gone terribly wrong.

I dabbled in it a year ago, but then real life became more pressing than internet marketing, and I didn't even spend my full $50 voucher. I'm new to this town and haven't found a job, so I'm using this time to be a full time internet marketer. My niche isn't necessarily the best for these tough economic times, but it doesn't seem to be overly affected and I plan on having a high authority content site by the time the economy recovers. Rather than panicking, I'm finding that this crisis is strengthening my resolve. I haven’t used PPC yet.

Few banks had money in Lehman the stock market is but not the worst in Asia. Where I think the Philippines will start feeling the crunch is when the Philippine Overseas Foreign Workers will not remit to their families as much as last year. In 2007 that was 16 billion dollars.

I just saw a CNN report that reported huge increase in sale of house safes and domestic security appliances. Perhaps a profitable niche in the making? A recession always presents opportunities.
