Blogger stats: How to exclude own visits?

Blogger real-time stats was just recently introduced. How can I exclude my own visits from counting in these statistics?

I know it is possible to set a cookie to exclude self traffic in Google Analytics. Is something similar possible with Blogger real-time stats?

• This is just a idea, but you could somehow exclude your ip adress from the list in Google Analytics. I am not really an expert on this so I will try to re-answer your question. Find your ip by typing ipconfig into the Command Prompt in windows.

  Voyagerfan5761 : The question is asking about a new feature in Blogger in Draft, not Google Analytics. Aside from that, excluding by IP is unreliable considering the dynamic addresses assigned by ISPs.

• Sweet! Blogger in Draft just implemented a feature to exclude your own visits. It does not seam to work, yet, though.

  Update: This cookie does not seem to hold it's value and work in IE (8). I realize it is just a "draft" feature, but I'm considering using the HOSTS file instead.

  Update 2: Even when the cookie maintains it's value in non-IE browsers, the visits are still tracked. This new "draft" feature still has some kinks...

  There is a new "Don't track your own pageviews" link in the real-time stats tab:

• Block the Google Analytics domain from your HOSTS file:

  # [Google Inc]
  127.0.0.1 www.google-analytics.com
  127.0.0.1 ssl.google-analytics.com
  

  Apparently this might break some sites...

  update: Blogger doesn't seem to use these URL's... anyone know the right URL to block?
