Have you added any exclusion rules?
Double check your role and IP based exclusions.
I tried this and that, in vain.
As of now, my role is set as an administrator, and I only excluded administrator.
When running the stat first time, i did not exclude my ip address, so it is showing up in the stat, and that is the only record i see in my stat, ever since.
Now, I have excluded my ip address, and nothing has been added to the stat, even though I accessed my web site from various locations, computers, time, etc.
Besides, I enabled record exclusion, but it does not show anything(where am I supposed to get the record?).
???????
Have you included a subnet mask in the ip exclusion? If there is no subnet mask the default is 0.0.0.0 which will exclude all ip addresses.
I am still developing the web site (meaning not fully operational now, and that I did not set anything for search engine), and I see someone from another country visited (added subnet mask and it works, thanks! 🙂 ).
Can the stat filter out the fake ip from real ip? If so, how can i tell?
The country of the IP seems fake to me, especially since i am not really live, yet.
It’s not a fake IP, it’s just a web crawler that’s stumbled upon your site’s IP address.
It was recorded as a hit because the didn’t identify themselves as a robot and we didn’t detected it as one either.
so, if someone uses “hide ip” software, how does the stat record?
We record the hit from whatever IP address the anonymizer provided the end user.
