See IP adresses in Google Analytic

Posted by | September 3, 2007 | Adword

It is a bit surprising that with this state of the art program from Google the web stats program Analytic you can not see the IP address of the visitors on your website.

Why do you need IP addresses anyway you might ask? Well it’s to good to have when tracking down the scams that going on in the PPC industry where Adword is the leading player. You figure that out by your self ok

Google Adword gave me this nice answer when I asked them about it

Thank you for your email. I understand you have a question about the form
to be filled for the invalid clicks investigation. Giving suspicious IP
addresses is an option only. It is not a mandatory field to be filled.

If you want information on IP addresses, then you can check your web logs.
Analytics does not give IP addresses of the visitors. To read on Web Logs,
visit –
