Hi
From Google analytic help i get an information about Predefined filters,
Exclude traffic from the domains: use this filter to exclude traffic from a specific domain, such as an ISP or company network.
Please help me to understand Difference between exclude and include traffic of a site?
and what filter actually do?
As you want to analyze the traffic stats of your website then you should not count the visits made by you or your staff as you are not the prospective clients of your website hence the figures can be misguiding ones, and thats the reason you should exclude the visited made from your own IP and just count the original visitors from outside.
Include Traffic:
Traffic comes from the search engines like Google, yahoo, Bing etc.
Exclude Traffic:
Traffic comes from some websites.you can use filter option to get protected from these websites.

Included are sites and IP's you feel are sending legitimate traffic..
You have the option of excluding traffic from showing up in analytics if it is from a particular domain or range of domains.
There are many uses for this, for example, say your company's website is the home page on all your company computers. Well, every time someone opens their browser, that's going to fudge your data! So you might choose to exclude your office's IP address from showing up in analytics.
Thank you about Difference between exclude and include traffic
Thanks all for sharing a good post about the difference between include and exclude traffic.

Good info about difference of both traffic.
Included are sites and IP's you feel are sending legitimate traffic.
Excluded traffic is when you have found out that a particular IP or website is sending you bad traffic such as traffic generators, paid to read, etc. Then you can list the domain or ip to be excluded from the official counts to protect your account from getting a fraud.
In my opinion You can say that the traffic coming from just the major search engines ( Google, Yahoo, Bing) You could make a filter that exclude every other site!
As you want to evaluate the traffic stats of your website then you should not count the visits completed by you or your staff as you are not the potential clients of your website consequently the figures can be misguiding ones, and that’s the reason you should exclude the visited made from your own IP and just count the original visitors from outside.
Include Traffic is a Traffic which come from the search engines like Google, yahoo, Bing etc.
Thanks for sharing the difference between exclude and include traffic. this is a very useful information.
Excluding traffic means you have target ip and may be any county related searched in Traffic sources so ip related details provide by analytic and including you add your country so this details is including process.
I have no idea about exclude and include traffic, but thanks for share such a nice information with us :)
Excluded traffic is the bad traffic from a particular website or IP while included traffic are legitimate traffic from various sites and IP's.
Prohibit: This sort of channel avoids log document lines (hits) that match the Filter Pattern. Coordinating lines are overlooked completely: for instance, a channel that avoids Chrome additionally bars all other data in that log line, for example, guest, way, referral, and space data.
Include: This sort of channel incorporates log document lines (hits) that match the Filter Pattern. All non-coordinating hits are overlooked and any information in non-coordinating hits is inaccessible in the reports.
If you'd like to exclude internal traffic from your reports (such as traffic from your company intranet), you can set up a filter that identifies all of the IP addresses you'd like to exclude. If you want to report on activity in only a specific directory, set up an Include filter that identifies only that directory.
