By default, GoogleAnalytics tracks your time spent on your site as direct traffic. The same goes for any outsourcers you might hire to help you out: web designers, virtual assistants, etc. You need to tell GA to stop it and it will be done at once.

Here are the steps

Establish your IP address as well as IP addresses of all your blog helpers. The simplest way to do it is to go to Whatismyipaddress.com

Create a filter in your GA account:


1. Click the Admin tab at the top right of any Analytics page.

2. Select the profile for which you want to create the filter.

3. Click the Filters tab.

4. Click + New Filter.

5 Create a name for the filter.

6. Select Predefined filter and choose the fields as shown in the image above.

7. Enter your IP address.

8. Click Save.

Fair warning: Once you apply the filter, your direct traffic stats might drop significantly, but at least you'll be tracking them the right way from this point on.
