SiteMeter II Ignore Visit Tool

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Many of you may not be aware of this but SiteMeter currently has a feature called the IP ignore tool. This tool was originally created so that site owners could “tag” themselves so their visits to the site would not counted as visit traffic - or in other words, it ignored that visit.

In the new SiteMeter II platform we have improved on this tool.

The new Ignore Visits tool allows you to ignore up to five different IP addresses. Unlike the current SiteMeter ignore tool, which is cookie based and therefore limited to one computer, you can now enter IP addresses for more than one computer. So if you happen to check your site during the day from one computer, and in the evenings from a different computer you can enter the IP for both and they will be excluded (or ignored) in your visit stats.

The best part is we have included an IP lookup tool, so with just a click of the mouse we can tell you the IP for most any computer location, except maybe if you happen to be sitting in NORAD. Sorry NORAD bloggers.

We hope that our improvements to the overall site and the small details like this show our continued commitment to improving our product for you - our dedicated users and supporters.
