Hi, is there any addon to Exclude Admin/USER from being logged, I edit products on my site and view the pages every day,  which they have my banners rotating on all my product pages.  So the Impressions, Clicks and click thrus are'nt real accurate.  I have this feature on my Meta Traffic program, that allows me to enter my IP and I become invisible, all my visits to my Web site are no logged.

Thanks 

Vicki

Hello all,

I've developed sort of a hack for addressing this issue. 

Summary:  Using IP tracking, if you visit your site, you will see a generic banner of your choosing.  This, obviously, won't get tracked.  If you making a request that's not from your IP, or you enable a cookie by clicking that generic banner, you will see the "Real" banners until your session is closed out. 

First create a page called "banners_enabled.asp" that includes the code

<%
'set the cookie for showing the banners
 Response.Cookies("Banners") = "True"
 Response.Cookies("Banners").Path = "/"
 Response.Redirect("default.asp")
%>

Then on the page where you call your banners but this code around CW's banner calling code...

  <% dim strBannersEnabled%>
  <% strBannersEnabled = Request.Cookies("Banners") %>
  <% if (Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") = "IP.ADDRESS.NO.1" or Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") = "192.168.1.100") and strBannersEnabled <> "True" then %>
    <%  'this is a office ip, don't track clicks or impressions!! Just show a generic banner(also added local IP for dev testing) %>
    <a HREF=http://www.yourwebsite.com/banner_enable.asp> <img alt="Click this banner to turn on real banners" border="0" src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/generic_480x60.bmp"></a>
  <% else %>
     <!------- ASPBanner Ad code ------------->
     <script language="JavaScript"> var code = '';
     var now = new Date();
     var nIndex = now.getTime();
     document.write('<s' + 'cript src=" http://www.yourwebsite.com/aspbanner/injectbanner.asp?Banner Zone=1&nocache=' + nIndex + '">');
     document.write('</' + 's' + 'cript>');
     </script>
     <script language="JavaScript">document.write(jscode);</script& gt;
     <!--------- End ASPBanner Ad code --------------->
  <% end if %>

That's about it, really.  This isn't meant  to be a step-by-step but its a solution to keep you from capturing your clicks.  You can add any number of ip addresses or server names as your situation merits.
