Unknown site using our analytics code

I did a review on our google analytics this morning and realised that we have a unknown site using our analytics code; this is because they copied our site design and even used our source code letter for letter.

Is there a way to filter out this s开发者_Python百科ite from our google analytics as there data is essentially scewing our data.

Cheers

You can filter out their data.

First, you can figure out what the domain is by adding the 'Hostname' secondary dimension in your content view. Once you have a handle on what hostnames its using (www.thief.com, thief.com, subdomain.thief.com, or whatever).

Create the filter (Instructions here: http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55494)

Set the filter to exclude traffic from the thief's hostname.

(This thread has some details on how this implemented: http://groups.google.com/group/analytics-help-basics/browse_thread/thread/051be84cfb20338a?pli=1)

@yahelc , while your instructions are OK if you look at documentation, this filter often doesn't work.

I recommend to use Custom Filter / Exclude filter / Filter field : Hostname , where can use a regexp pattern

To test your pattern, Go in Visitors / Network Properties / Hostname, and give it try in the filter box
