Introducing CB stats! Options

[micron]

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.

[smrkangl]

this is simply beyond awesome! =D

[demolished]

^
Indeed.

Micron's stats is going to pwn every Xanga tracker out there :]

[jerdst]

this is better then whosonyourpage site
this is awsome indeed

[PrincessAda]

This is one of the BEST trackers I`ve heard of.

[JustAnotherTeena...]

Oh, cool! Yay, thanks =)

[biax3]

im real excited about this.

[tanichick]

Wow, this is awesome, really! Awesome job, that must've taken a lot of time . Just wondering, but is there any possible way to create one for myspace?

EDIT:

ohh whoops "not only tracks Xanga, but also Myspace, Livejournal, Blogger, and more"
*smacks self in the head*

lol

THIS Is the COOLEST THING EVER! :))))))))))))))))))))))))))) lol

[xklipse]

This is one of the BEST trackers I`ve heard of.

I agree, I have used cB Stats since the begining of April (staff trial), and I MUST say that it's the best trackers I had so far. And believe me, I think I have used ALL the trackers there is out there, and this must be the best one I have up to date.

[micron]

thanks for all the wonderful feedback guys! let me know if you find a bug! =)

[merc]

looks awesome indeed...

time to spreaddddd the worrrddd!

[subway]

shouldnt you make it with people 100 posts or more?
people may just join to get the tracker which is not really ...

[micron]

looks awesome indeed...

time to spreaddddd the worrrddd!

theres still way more interesting things on the way that i didnt mention here! but yes, please do spread the word, especially to the myspace community! =)

shouldnt you make it with people 100 posts or more?

sorry, this tool will be available for everyone. part of the reason the original xanga tracker didnt really become popular was because it was exclusively for official members. and mind you, this was way before all the other trackers you see today... xtracker, suhuck, etc.

[pali]

hey i think this is really cool. but maybe u should add a thing where u can also c whose vistiting ur profile.

[jennyjenny]

^ your profile? for what?



This is pretty cool. There will now be more trackers everywhere! Though, it's kind of annoying when people have trackers cause when I go to their site, they comment me back saying "heyyyy u came 2 my site but u didnt pr0p me" or something along those lines.

[OriskybusinessO]

i love this. thank you.

[add1cted2f1re]

i hate this

this is so rude... its a complete invasion of privacy.. it shows EVERYBODY's IP adress

i dont think that should be displayed

[micron]

^
hi, thanks for your concerns.

its a common misconception that revealing your ip is a security risk when its not. but i understand that some users might feel their privacy has been invaded. ill consider finding an alternative way for displaying the stats for non-owners.

[Relentless]

How awesome ! This is going to go really great since it's able to used for almost practically anything?!!? o.O I'm going to try it. (=

[pali]

hey why is everyone anonymous?

[luvkills]

i hate this

this is so rude... its a complete invasion of privacy.. it shows EVERYBODY's IP adress

i dont think that should be displayed

then don't use it.

isn't it against myspace rules? I thought your couldnt use a tracker on myspace...

[*wind&fire*]

^ hey i havent seen you in ages

[silent whisper]

then don't use it.

isn't it against myspace rules? I thought your couldnt use a tracker on myspace...

you can have myspace trackers. i know plenty of people who do.

and ehh for that add1cted2f1re kidd;; you don't have to make it visible to the visitors.. eh?

[juicycouture19]

This is a rad tracker && I like it.

[luvkills]

you can have myspace trackers. i know plenty of people who do.

and ehh for that add1cted2f1re kidd;; you don't have to make it visible to the visitors.. eh?

Yea..read the myspace terms of service...
well it is because if somebody get's you'r ip address they can do a port scan and hack your computer. but and link you click on on the web gives your ip address cause when you connect to a website or if a picture load's on your browser it is connecting to a server threw your ip address. i dont know exactly how it works but i know if somebody has your ip address they can hack you. its kinda f**kin stupid because nobodies gonna get hacked from a tracker cause there would be too many people using them but im not the one deleting people so i cant really say anything.

^ hey i havent seen you in ages

yea I kind of got bored with everything

[luvkills]

asdadfsadfsaf there should be a delete message button here.

[LiLShorty6935]

[/size][/color][color=#993399]I just got the tracker for myspace and I put the code in the about me section like it said, but now i have a problem. how do I see it? I set it as private for only me to see but Im kind of confused cuzz I cant see it...can sum1 please help me!?

[omgstfugah]

Hey I was wondering why it says anonymous for all my visitors? Isn't it supposed to show their user name or something?

[luvkills]

Maybe its broke? All it shows is the destination, doesn't show who viewed it.

[ApocalypseAelis]

Wow, I love this! This is really useful. Thanks.

[pandamonium]

yes now i can finally find my stalkers ahaha lol. you guys are amazing.

yea it doesnt say who visited just the ip address.

[xHittheswitch]

It's a great tool. Unfortunately, It doesn't seem to show who exactly is viewing the page as of this moment. At least on mine it isnt.

[RCKstarh]

i absolutely love da person who made it

[micron]

hey why is everyone anonymous?

sorry, only the xanga tracker supports this feature.

hi!
thanks for the tip.

i briefed through the myspace tos, and i couldnt find anything that said it was illegal to generate aggregate statistics for your profile - and cb stats (atleast the myspace version) is just that. section8 lists the content / activities that are prohibited, but mentions that it isnt an exhaustive list.

as for ips - every time youre online, whether you know it or not, your subject to hackers scanning random ips for vulnerabilities. ofcourse exposing your ip increases the risk that someone may target you specifically. although i think that increased risk is really insignificant, for the next batch of update, im going to make it so that only the owner of the stats may view the ips if the stats are set to public (where everyone can view them).

hi! thanks for joining the site!

all you have to go to is http://www.createblog.com/stats/. if youre logged in, it will display YOUR statistics, not the default "sample" one. now go tell your friends about this tool!

hi! thanks for joining the site! the myspace cb stats doesnt support logging usernames. all it does it collects the traffic in aggregate format to display. now go tell your friends about this tool!

Please read my previous response. =)

[xHittheswitch]

Thanks! :]

i love you too! =D

[jerdst]

how come all my viewers have my profile url but diff ip numbers?
i put it in the about me section in myspace?

[tobeyum]

it logs me. dont it suppose to log visitors only?

[tegan.trejo@gmai...]

darnit
i really wanted to be able to know who was looking at mysite.
will the tracker ever support myspace username identity? :]

[Panicinmypants]

Hi, I would like to use this but everytime I go to get the code, it won't let me and I'm a memeber of createblog and even after I sign in it still won't let me. my createblog id is panicinmypants

[Gracie___x3]

awesome code...

i've been looking for something like this for a while.

thanks a bunch.

[xdatsexiinenax]

you.are.simply.the.best. :]

[demolished]

Jusun, does div aligning works on JS code?

I'm just curious about it since i never used JS code.

[luvkills]

I would like it alot better if you could see whos looking at your page on myspace like the xanga one.

[stargazerforever...]

oh my gosh, thank you so much!!! this has helped me to see why my profile views have been going up like crazy, come to find out its some guy who likes me hahaha thanks soooooooo much!!

[paglie]

awsome
thanxxx

[SunnyDeex]

thats awesome!!!

[lupita]

this is so kool it helps out a lot! thnx! i'll spread the word 2 my friends!

[*Just 'Nota Krkkr'd*]

Woot this is great love it!

[haleakala1]

the tracker says i've only had one visit.
my myspace profile counter says i've had 25...
is there something wrong with my tracker?


edit//
nvm got it

[moviecrush]

I signed up but it is not letting me get the code for the tracker.

[windysails]

I need help using this tracker. I don't understand how do I know who looked at my site? Most of the time it's just me when I was editing my profile. How do I know if it was someone else and who he/she is? Also, what's a unique visitor?

[fragilesong]

is there any way the myspace tracker could show who hit it instead of displaying "anonymous?"

[gelionie]

^

]hi! thanks for joining the site! the myspace cb stats doesnt support logging usernames. all it does it collects the traffic in aggregate format to display. now go tell your friends about this tool!

[bub]

is it possible to remove the pic of the tracker?

[alwayszxlove]

hey i have this as my tracker, but it doesn't show everything you say it has. all it shows is the destination but not where it came from. all i get are IP addresses and so i dont know if thats just how its supposed to be, or somethings wrong with mine.

[QUELZ]

this is so freaking AWSOME \m/

[babyfes]

ummm the tracker doesnt really work for me...it only tracks when i view my page, sumtime i dont even go into my page and it track that....can sum1 plz tell me why...

[hi-C]

I signed up but it is not letting me get the code for the tracker.

While signed in to createBlog, go to http://createblog.com/stats and if you signed up for the tracker correctly, it should show you the statistics for your site. On that page, there's also a link that says "Get tracking code." Click that.

I need help using this tracker. I don't understand how do I know who looked at my site? Most of the time it's just me when I was editing my profile. How do I know if it was someone else and who he/she is? Also, what's a unique visitor?

A unique vistor is one specific user who visits your page. You'll know if it's someone else if the username says something than your own username.

[chinkehpinkeh]

well... i think u guys can improve on the "users" list for the myspace tracker. its always anonymous...like the others said, all i see is IP addresses...so how can u tell who is who?

although, i LOVE the xanga tracker. it shows everyone's username. =)

[*incoherent*]

^
and again

hi! thanks for joining the site! the myspace cb stats doesnt support logging usernames. all it does it collects the traffic in aggregate format to display. now go tell your friends about this tool!

[chinkehpinkeh]

oh sorry, i didn't read that part >.<

[xxeleganziia]

yeah, i just joined and this is cool..but itd be cooler if it wuz invisible on my site and if it would tell me exactly WHO has been 2 my site..like their username..will that ever be available?

[Smoogrish]

is it possible to remove the pic of the tracker?

Do you mean the link back to CB Stats? Please don't remove it. It gives Jusun credit for making the tracker.

yeah, i just joined and this is cool..but itd be cooler if it wuz invisible on my site and if it would tell me exactly WHO has been 2 my site..like their username..will that ever be available?

It is invisible, except for the credit link back to CB. And what are you using? The username feature is only for xanga, I think (I don't have Livejournal, so I wouldn't know about that).

[DaNcEwiTmEcRt]

quick question. since sometimes, it only gives you the ip address and not the link, how can you use that ip adress to get the link of the person that looked?

[gelionie]

quick question. since sometimes, it only gives you the ip address and not the link, how can you use that ip adress to get the link of the person that looked?

Xanga/LiveJournal/MySpace/Blogger/website?

[chris-cacophony]

So why does it say 'Annonymous' whenever it shows a hit, instead of that person's screenname? Could that be worked on? And what is an IP adress? [[I'm on myspace, so it's weied for me]]

[DaNcEwiTmEcRt]

myspace

[xxeleganziia]

yeah, question: how DO u figure out who wuz at ur site [myspace]..can u even c whos been 2 ur site based on the IP address?

[lauren_x0_143]

ok i dont get this??
like it just says how many people have visited on my myspace.
it wont tell me who.
on every single link its a link to my page.

[simxd]

nice jobbbbbbbbb
seroiusly..best one ever
but..
wut if people don't hit the CB icon,
does it record if don't click the icon?

thanks once again

[xOxBaBi3rOs3xOx]

its kool...

[micron]

hi all,

thanks for all the feedback!

i updated the tracker so that you can hide the tracker button. do do that, click on 'edit tracker settings' and uncheck 'show tracker button'. update your blog with the new code, and the tracker code should be invisible. next time you want to check your stats, simply click on the 'stats' section (the red menu links) - if youre logged in, it should show your tracker.

also, to clarify, the tracker does not track usernames for myspace. this function is only available to xanga users. this is because with myspace, it is currently technically impossible to do that. when and if it becomes possible, i will update the code to include that feature.

[hollywoodpink]

i would like to say thank you for this.
it's REALLY cool. =3

[knotblonde88]

Hi. First of all, thanks for making this tracker, I have been wanting one for myspace for quite some time.

My only complaint about the tracker is the fact that it shows the destination page of the visitor, but not the referal page. Is this a feature that is only supported by Xanga, or have I done something wrong when I added the tracker to my page? Just wondering. Thanks alot.

[CHR1STiNEx3]

this tracker is great! thanks for making it the only problem is that even with the invisiblity script coded in for the tracker button, the button still shows up. i don't know if it's only my problem, but i can't make it go away.

sorry, currently this feature isnt supported. myspace doesnt allow js script, and without it, you cant get the referer...

It doesn't record clicks, it records hits; yes it will record if people don't hit the icon.

[fauxAMOUR]

wow. thats impressive (:

[arielleb]

Is there a 3rd party site that can take an IP address and give you a name or location of that computer?

[micron]

^ hey,
this is being worked on. we'll be offering one right here at cb soon. =)

[EddieV]

YAY! No I can keep track of myspace activity!

[heyvanity]

TRACKERS ON MYSPACE ARE NOT ALLOWED.
YOU ALL MIGHT WANT TO READ THIS!!

READ THIS

[add1cted2f1re]

anyone else notice how random ppl are signing up just to ask a question?

[Godsend]

^ noticed dat too. hahaa leechers..

would you be able to track myspace by codes in an embedded flash?? just a thought...

[casey n]

yea.

where do i go to see the people who went to my page?

[gelionie]

^ http://www.createblog.com/stats/

[anheuser]

this is awsome!! yea rawr haha!..

[jlbutterfly2000]

how do i know if it working correctly??

[jlbutterfly2000]

how do i get the button off????????

Your "hide" tracker button does not work on Myspace, as the pound symbol ('#') is filtered in myspace. Instead of creating a completely new style class for it, you can embed it straight in the tag.


example:

CODE

<a href="http://www.createblog.com/stats/index.php?id=1"><img style="visibility: hidden; width: 1px; height: 1px;" alt="Myspace tracker" border="0" src="http://www.createblog.com/stats/myspace1.jpg" /></a>

[micron]

^ thanks! ill update it on the next update. =)

as to the person who said trackers are not allowed - cb's myspace tracker is a statistics program, where traffic is presented in an aggregate format. also, even if it was, no where in myspace tos does it specifically say that tracker's (meaning harvesting usernames of people who visit your myspace) are illegal. section 8 lists the prohibited activities/content and no mention of trackers.

on the next update, the tracker will support locations. for a sneak preview, please go here:

http://www.createblog.com/stats/index3.php - xanga
http://www.createblog.com/stats/index3.php?id=18 - myspace

[micron]

hi all,

good news! i updated the stats with a couple of very cool features!

-now supports locations (city, state, country)
-myspace tracker now supports top visitors (by ip)
-geostats: graphically track your visitors (view demo)


thanks for all your support guys! if you use or plan to use this tracker, please do us a favor and tell your friends about this site! also, please join our myspace group!

[gelionie]

^ thank you, but the location thing doesn't really help much since most of the people who visit my xanga are from HK anyway.

But still, thanks!

[lizardf]

Awesome. The new geostats works great

[gimmenow]

you should have it so you can see the link of the person who visited your page, like some people are trying to find real celebs on myspace, idk but like if you want to see if they are a poser and they should live in california but they live in uh ohio or something it tells you that now but you dont know who exacly owns the page who visited you. If that makes any sense? lol I want to know who is looking at my page exacly, I want the link to their myspace when they view mine.

[hi-C]

The geostats thing is just about the coolest thing ever. My jaw literally dropped when I saw it. AWESOME, Jusun!

[aj_roxbhotch]

You are a genius this really amazing ive used tons of trackers on my site but this one takes the cake....my comment is such a conformist

[sdgem21]

How come the tracker only tracks my own views, from when I edit my profile? No one else shows up...am I using the wrong URL? I input my VIEW PAGE URL...
HELP! I need a tracker...
