You can tell Blogger not to include your own pageviews in its stats. To do this, go to your blog and click on Overview under the Stats tab. Click the “Don’t track your own pageviews” link, then choose “Don’t track my pageviews” and click Save button. Setting this preference is somewhat inconvenient, especially if you have multiple blogs to set.
A while ago, I moved my blog to a custom domain name. Then found that I can’t set this preference anymore. When I click on the “Don’t track your own pageviews” link, a blue dialog appears and it keeps loading as shown below.
A while later, an error message “There was an error while fetching stats. Please reload page.” prompted.
This issue has been reported by many bloggers who are also using custom domain name for their blogs. To workaround this issue, copy this link below.
www.yourdomain.com/b/statsBlockingCookie?action=SET&callback=onSuccess
Replace www.yourdomain.com with your domain name. Then paste it in your browser’s address bar and go to the link. A response should be shown like the following.
// API callback
onSuccess({"status":"yes"});
I’ve built a small tool to help simplify this process as shown below.
