Could there possibly be in an update a way to exclude certain IP adresses from the tracker like your own so it's not tracking you as well. A couple of people have asked this, but I didn't really see any definite answer saying "Yes, we'll think about that" or "No, this is impossible"

Thanks

^ I am certain that this has been mentioned somewhere, just not in this topic. I believe micron said he would add a feature for searching IP addresses in the next update. Stay tuned with this topic.

I guess there isn't any way for me to actually know who is going to my myspace. The only links that show up is mine, the rest are "anonymous -". ermm.gif

you would actually know why if you would have bothered to read the topic. i like how you all find this topic and then don't even bother to read it.

MYSPACE DOES NOT TRACK USERNAMES...AT ALL! IT IS AGAINST THEIR TERMS...WHICH MEANS...:GASP: PEOPLE'S USERNAMES WON'T SHOW UP!

you probably could have gotten that out of the 2nd post if you would have just read.

this is really great! i was tired of looking for trackers... but all they did was post bulletins saying you'd get messages. LIES.

thanks for making this; and taking the time to!

hey how come the username doesnt work on myspace? then how am i gonna know who came to my page? cry.gif
good2go
Where exactly do I add this code? I add it to my overides section and it won't work. I added _WEBSITE to the beginning and still nothing? What am I missing?

NVM. I figured it out. Thanks :D

this is soo cool!
DCandBlink07
It very much saddens me to not be able to know the usernames.
I wanted to know who the people looking at my page were, not just how many people. yawn.gif
Oh well I suppose, still cool.
Smoogrish
Myspace doesn't allow it- against their Terms of Use, I believe.

Really guys, TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE TOPIC. Especially what Spencer said. THE TRACKER DOES NOT SUPPORT MYSPACE USERNAMES.
i.lov_beck
Thank you!! This is just lovely!

And maybe sometime you could fix it to where it could show myspace names instead of saying anonymous. That would be great!!!!

Thanks again! biggrin.gif

Love the idea, but I've an issue...I put a tracker on Myspace, and it doesn't let me see the people's names...Almost had you there, didn't I? No, I've a different problem; I put one tracker on Myspace, and I wanted to put one on Xanga, but it says "Sorry, you may only track up to three sites at a time." Issue is, I'm only tracking one at this point...

Wait...Never mind...But yeah, good job with the tracker.

let me step down to your level....

although you have it all wrong. it does track on myspace, it just won't :gasp: give you the username. it still tells you when you get hits though.

I've had this on for a week now and its keeping me smiling. Excellent work!
I even freaked out my housemate when I logged his IP address and asked him if he liked my site (to the extent of revealing his exact time he went on it)......hahaha. Anyway what IP database does it use as a lot are coming up 'unknown, UK' (including me). Are these all relatively new internet connections?

Again ace site monitor....kudos
TragicVision
Oh and just wondering, whats the unique visitors mean? Does it actually tell you if a person visiting your site has Day-Glo hair or seven fingers on one hand?
fauxAMOUR
WOW. thats skills.

Thank you so much for this!! Appearantly... I have a stalker in Atlanta that has visted my page 19 times... today. whaaaa, thanks =]

Anyways, I love the new tracker, its neat.
I want to put it on my site... eventually.. when I get un-lazy.

Does it reset monthly?

It's totally already on my site.
I'm tracking you Kara!!!!!!!!!!! shifty.gif

Where do the stats from the previous months go? Or does it just reset and erase all the previous info?

thank you!!!
theebeautifulone
so..how come i can view the logs from yesterday..I don't know..I can only view it from today only...is there a setting that i should change??
digitalcherry
Wow, this is great! Thanks! biggrin.gif I was a little sad that myspace usernames don't show up, until I read through the posts and found that showing usernames is against the TOS. I understand the reasons why this isn't allowed after reading through the myspace forums about tracking usernames = invading the privacy of other users. Imagine the drama (as if myspace doesn't have enough!) if people were saying things like, "I tracked you lurking 9 times today, so why didn't you comment me back?" or "Geeze, I know we broke up, so stop stalking my profile 20 times a day!!"

So, now that part doesn't bother me because this is still an awesome tracker! Good job on it. I love how detailed it is (URL destination and real life location) and the top visitors section too.

But since I am really curious, I have been able to figure out some of who has been visiting my myspace by checking the time of visits with the time that comments/messages are posted. I think this only works well with people who have a static IP though, and I have a pretty good idea of which of my friends have static IPs. So now I just remember who has what static address, and I'm pretty much gold laugh.gif

Oh, I think I'm having a little problem though. I added the code to two myspace profiles, and the stats page worked perfectly fine for both of them. But now, when I check the page I see No data found. Make sure tracking code is correctly installed.. I even readded the code since I thought that I could have accidently modified it when I modified the About Me section earlier. I'm not too worried about it, and I think that it's some minor issue. Just wanted to point it out, in case others were experiencing the same thing.

Still no answer... I don't understand how to use the tracker on LJ. The instructions aren't very clear (for LJ specifically), but maybe I am just an idiot? Please someone help me... I've been very patient for an answer but still haven't gotten one. Thank you. :)

mine stopped working...anyone else having trouble?

What does "unique visitor" mean?

Also, what does it mean when it says the location is "unknown", but then, shows me a tac for their location on the geo-stat map?

You'll see that message when nobody visits your page. There's nothing wrong with your tracker.

"Unique visitor" is the number of visitors you have had total. It doesn't count returning visits. When someone visits your site, it counts them once and then never again. So if you have 4 unique visitors and 9 page views, it means that 4 people have visited your site, but your site has been loaded 9 times. Hope that makes sense. :)

I figured it out myself. Because no one seems to answer this question, I'll answer it for anyone who asks it in the future.

First off, you log in and go to http://www.livejournal.com/modify.bml
Make sure your style is S1. I don't think it works with S2.
Scroll down to the overrides text box.

If you already have text in there, find the following tags:

FRIENDS_WEBSITE<=

and

LASTN_WEBSITE<=

Put the tracker code on the line after each of those.

If there's nothing in that box, then you'll have to add both of those tags.

So it would look like this (if the box was empty in the first place) -

CODE
FRIENDS_WEBSITE<=

(your tracking code here)

<=FRIENDS_WEBSITE

LASTN_WEBSITE<=

(your tracking code here, again)

<=LASTN_WEBSITE


Then save and it should work. :)

This might be a silly question, but where do you see the stats? I put this on my myspace blog and I don't see this anywhere.
stripedxup
i really like the trackerr
i understand that it will stay anoymous 4 myspace
but it will be nice if there was a way you could edit that for each ip address... like if you know for sure who it was who visited your profile then you can like change it from to anoymous to susiee & whatnot...

Great utility, thanks so much for developing it... just had a couple questions for micron:

Have you had any official word from MySpace as to whether or not your CB stats is allowed? I agree with you that it seems to comply with their TOS, but I'd just rather be safe than find out one day that my MySpace account is gone.

Also... is there any reason that you don't include a referring URL for the MySpace stats like you do with Xanga, etc? I'm really curious to see if people are hitting my page via search engines, MySpace searches, or other peoples' friend pages, etc etc.

Thanks in advance, and once again... great job.
theebeautifulone
I guess nobody answers these questions but anyways..Just wanted to know..If there is a blank destination page .. what does that mean??
aPpLeSnBaNaYnAyS
so.. in order to find out who exactly has been to ur myspace.. they have to be a member of the tracker group?

QUOTE(micron @ Apr 16 2006, 5:45 PM) *
More than two years ago, it was my pleasure to introduce to the blogging community the first ever Xanga visitor tracker. Now I'm pleased to announce a more robust tracker that not only tracks Xanga, but also Myspace, Livejournal, Blogger, and more - up to three total per account! Here's a sample of how the tracker looks like.

-Up to three trackers per account
-Daily and monthly totals (unique + pageviews)
-Individual hit details (username, destination, referrer, location, ip, time of visit)
-Top visitors, destinations, and referrals
-Different timezone support
-Public or private stats (viewable to everyone vs yourself)
-Geostats! (see where your visitors are coming from on a map!)
-Very very easy to use!
