Exclude Traffic from India

[seoug_2005]

i would like to  exclude all traffic coming from India using  Advanced Segment in Google Analytics. How do i go about it ?  Will it be applied to future traffic also ?

Advanced Segments can change prior data, which may be more helpful for the OP in this case.

For advanced segments, this post below can be helpful. It shows you where to go to create an advanced segment, and even includes an example of exactly what you are looking for (Non-Indian Visitors = Country/Territory Does not match exactly India). Advanced Segments are retroactive, and can be modified on the fly. The downside of advanced segments is that you sometimes can't combined them with other types of advanced segments.

Thanks Devin. I will apply the filter and see how it works

Hey

1. Go to your analytics dashboard
2. Add new profile, name it "exclude indian traffic" or something you will remember
3. Then go into Filter Manager and create a new, custom filter
4. In filter type select 'exclude'
5. Now select the Visitor Country option in the Filter Field.
6. Type in India (make sure it's not case sensitive)
7. Now activate that filter on the profile named "exclude indian traffic", and wait for your new traffic to roll in.

The filters don't work retrospectively, so they will only apply to traffic from the moment you activate them.
