You completely misunderstand my comments. ...Evan,<br /><br />You completely misunderstand my comments. An <a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2007/04/etiology-blogger-and-you.html" rel="nofollow">epidemiological analysis of forum reports</a> show a complete lack of any affinity, for people complaining that "Don't track my pageviews" does not work.<br /><br />If you have watched <a href="http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/label?lid=0271191b4249689a&hl=en" rel="nofollow">Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken</a> for any amount of time, you will have seen what the forums look like, when Blogger breaks something. The volume of problem reports is unmistakable. What you have right now, with "Don't track my pageviews" not working, clearly has no volume, suggesting that it's a Blogger problem.<br /><br />And even given the slight chance that it might be a Blogger problem, it is of such low volume that other problems are going to bump it, continually, in the queue. That's the "pure economics" issue.<br /><br />So if you can't get the feature to work on your computer, then it's BS - for you. But it works fine for me - and for thousands of other blog owners.<br /><br />Sorry, but I will continue to insist that <a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2007/04/your-computer-and-blogger.html" rel="nofollow">epidemiological analysis of forum posts</a> points to a client side problem - ie your computer.Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-23255152027253329862011-01-30T01:52:13.508-08:002011-01-30T01:52:13.508-08:00Another reason to remove the "Don't track...Another reason to remove the "Don't track my pageviews" feature:<br /><br />"Pure economics suggests that you won't ever be able to exclude your pageviews from Stats."<br /><br />If this is true the feature is BS.evaonlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04433236409380263117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-41890792853869202602011-01-30T01:48:26.484-08:002011-01-30T01:48:26.484-08:00Seriously...

That said, all problems with Blogger can't be solved by Google - and even with the problems that <b>could</b> be solved by Google, not all <b>will be</b> solved by Google.<br /><br />You may have to do some of the work. A problem with Stats failing to not track certain activity is in no way an outage. If Google never gets around to solving this problem, I would not be surprised. Every week, they get new fires to fight, that are both 1. More urgent, and 2. Affect more people.<br /><br />Pure economics suggests that you won't ever be able to exclude your pageviews from Stats.<br /><br />What make / model modem and router do you have, connecting your Mac to the Internet?Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-53741669787995626382011-01-24T14:54:49.606-08:002011-01-24T14:54:49.606-08:00This just flat out does not work.

All my browser settings are to allow third party cookies and blogger.com and blogspot.com are both on the "Allow" list.<br /><br />I'm assuming it is Norton which is blocking them but I can't figure out how to find the setting in Norton, let alone change it.<br /><br />Any ideas?<br /><br />Thanks heaps for the article.Sari Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14157780034728554529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-53961750516017314002010-11-15T12:57:19.405-08:002010-11-15T12:57:19.405-08:00Really helpful, thank you!Really helpful, thank you!Deptford Croppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12413345785449922771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-48694518118548368112010-10-31T12:55:16.469-07:002010-10-31T12:55:16.469-07:00TMac,

I see the link that says that, I click it, I select the radio dial that says to not track me and when I check it again it's still selected and yet it is still tracking me. Why do I think so? Because I am using Mac OS 10.5.8 and Safari 5.0.2 and it identifies all views as coming from Mac and Safari.

From "Edit...Another thing I've discovered<br /><br />From "Edit Posts" you click on view, your pageview is NOT tracked. However, I have the adult content warning turned on which means before I view the page, I must accept that I am going to look at adult content. If that warning pops up, my pageview IS tracked. However, after I've done this once (you only have to do this once per visit), the next pageview is NOT tracked.<br /><br />Curious. If I may quote Hamlet Act 1, scene 4, 87–91: Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.<br /><br />I have now come to realize that if I'm delighted sometimes by the hits on my blog, I must remember that this delight must be tempered with the knowledge it is partially me fascinated by my own words.

I'll advise / coach you - but you have to do the detail work.Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-85323257812638879682010-09-21T10:27:09.340-07:002010-09-21T10:27:09.340-07:00I tried this like 20 times and it doesn't work...I tried this like 20 times and it doesn't work.
