Dont want mozbot messing with analytics. How to filter with GA?

[RyanKent]

The SEOmoz crawler uses the agent name: rogerbot

[Adam.Whittles]

Google analytics uses javascript which 99% of all crawlers do not execute and therefore they should not 'mess' with your analytics.

Someone may correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the rogerbot executes javascript on a page and therefore you shouldn't need to filter the bot from GA.

If however, I am wrong and the rogerbot does execute javascript thereby registering visits in GA the you can setup a custom filter to block traffic from rogerbot, or you could set up a custom segment to filter rogerbot traffic from your reports.

I just checked with the help team. Rogerbot does not execute javascript and should not be showing up in your Google Analytics account.
