hi Joe.

currently every page visit is stored in Google Analytics database.

I wanted to exclude admin page views. (specially that all module settings page views and page edit views and ... were recorded. it's not good for a new site where admin page visit rates are high)

this is what I did:

I added <add key="GoogleAnalyticsRolesToExclude" value="Admin"/> to user.config

then in AnalyticsAsyncBottomScript:

added: private string googleAnalyticsRolesToExclude = string.Empty;

then in oninit, right after if (HttpContext.Current == null) { return; }:

if (ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["GoogleAnalyticsRolesToExclude"] != null)
{
googleAnalyticsRolesToExclude = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["GoogleAnalyticsRolesToExclude"].ToString();
}

then in first line of Render():

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(googleAnalyticsRolesToExclude))
if (WebUser.IsInRoles(googleAnalyticsRolesToExclude))
return;

all this must be done for AnalyticsAsyncTopScript too.

what do you think about this? and do you think it can go to repository?

I didn't know about segments, and I was looking for a quick solution! that's why I did that.

now I will remove roles from the config.
