How do I keep the SEOmoz bot from showing up in my Google Analytics?

[Hosmercars]

I noticed today that we had a huge spike in visits on December 9th of this month.  We are talking like 13,000 more visits.  The network the visits were from was psinet inc. Any suggestions on how to keep these bots from registering in my Google Analytics?  Is there an ip address I can exclude?

Thanks, Keri - was just curious whether Roger triggers hits or not. Sounds like he doesn't

Thanks!

Roger shouldn't be triggering GA in most cases. What I meant to say above is I had done a Google search and seen other reports of psinet triggering GA, but not Roger. If you think he is causing a problem, send a note over to help@seomoz.org and we'll take a look. Thanks!

Hi Keri, is there anyway I can ensure Roger won't trigger GA tracks? Perhaps an IP address (s) that I could exclude?

Thanks!

Hi John,

psinet would not be from SEOmoz. I've done a search on Google and seeing other people report that it is also messing with their traffic. Roger does occasionally trigger GA, but usually doesn't trigger javascript analytics.
