Exclude yourself from sites you administer

It seems to be a common problem for people using analytics software to block their own visits to their pages. There are different ways to do this in different analytics packages, and some packages don't do it very well (Google Analytics, for example, only supports IP blocking which doesn't work if you have dynamic IP addresses).

A great feature for Ghostery, and one which would get more people using the product, would be a feature where you could selectively exclude yourself from analytics tracking for sites you administer. The ultimate solution would be to interface with the analytics packages and allow for an elegant opt-out (for instance, Google Analytics has a plugin that does this) so that visits are hidden, rather than simply blocking the tracking code.
