To filter a domain name in Google Analytics, you can create an advanced filter in the View settings. This can be done by selecting "Filters" and then creating a "Custom" filter. In the filter field, choose "Hostname" and enter the domain name that you want to filter. This will allow you to only see traffic data from that specific domain in your Google Analytics reports. By applying this filter, you can better analyze the performance of your website and make informed decisions based on the data collected from that specific domain.
How to identify traffic from a specific domain in Google Analytics?
To identify traffic from a specific domain in Google Analytics, you can follow these steps:
- Log in to your Google Analytics account and go to the reporting section.
- Click on "Acquisition" in the left sidebar menu and then select "All Traffic."
- In the All Traffic report, click on "Source/Medium" to see the traffic sources for your website.
- Use the search bar to search for the specific domain you want to track. For example, if you want to track traffic from a domain like example.com, type "example.com" in the search bar.
- Google Analytics will now display all the traffic data from the specific domain you searched for.
Alternatively, you can create a custom segment in Google Analytics to track traffic from a specific domain:
- In the reporting section of Google Analytics, click on "Add Segment" at the top of the report.
- Click on "New Segment" and then select "Conditions."
- In the filter options, select "Source" as the dimension and "contains" as the operator.
- Type in the specific domain you want to track in the empty field. For example, if you want to track traffic from example.com, type "example.com."
- Click on "Save" to create the custom segment.
Now, when you view your reports, you can apply this custom segment to track traffic specifically from the domain you specified.
How to exclude traffic from a certain domain in Google Analytics?
To exclude traffic from a certain domain in Google Analytics, you can follow these steps:
- Log in to your Google Analytics account and go to the Admin section.
- In the Account section, select the account that contains the property you want to exclude traffic from.

- Click on "Tracking Info" and then "Referral Exclusion List".
