Does myspace profile have to be public for tracker to work? Options

[diszamnadamn]

I put the code on my page in the about me section & what not but it doesnt display any stats when i check it & I have been getting hits on my page from other people so im confused...? Is it because my profile was on private?

I... don't think it has to be public but then again I'm not completely sure.

If the tracker image is not seen, it won't be counted in your stats.

No, you're profile does NOT have to be set to public for it to track visits with the tracker.

Place the tracker code in your headline, that way it is loaded even for people who hit that "This profile is set to Private" page.

In short, the tracker is capable of working in the headline of a private profile and track all views.


This is because the only part that's needed of the code for the tracker to actually work is the <img> tag, the link is not needed. So the tracker will work, but I'm sure it's frowned upon to not include the link to createblog with the tracker code.

So technically speaking, it CAN work if you have just the image in your headline. But I wouldn't recommend it, because keeping the <a> link code will help support CB

I tried the code and they replace the tracker image with this. Like I said, it won't work in the headline. Therefore, it won't work on a private profile.

Ahh I see.

CB must grab the code from the url you enter to use the tracker on, then check for the code and if it doesn't contain the whole original code it doesn't allow it to work. Never thought of that.
