Tracker v2! Options

[micron]

tracker info!
-the tracker button must be visible for the tracker to work! im no longer going to provide the code to hide the button, sorry. its only fair that you help promote createblog in return for all the resources we provide. plus, shouldnt your visitors know that they are being tracked?

-when adding a new tracker, if you get 'your site is already being tracked' error, that means just that. you most likely signed up for the tracker using another createblog account. if youre having problems remembering your original createblog account, send me a pm with the url you wish to track.

-official members get to track up to 5 sites, whereas regular members get up to 2. the upper daily limit for hits is 5000 for official members and 500 for regular members. after reaching the limit, the tracker will no longer log anymore hits for the day. the idea is to give you an incentive to participate in our community.

-if the time is incorrect, simply go to edit settings and change the timezone to the correct timezone. also, make sure your myspace (or whatever site) timezone is also correct.

-the standard url format for myspace is something like myspace.com/createblogcom. if you have a non standard url (applicable only for sign ups before v2), you need to uncheck 'prevent hi-jacking' in settings for the tracker to work.

-for certain browsers (firefox), the tracker will only log once per browser session, unless the user clicks on refresh manually or closes the browser and accesses your page again.




Ok buggy bug bug - please DO NOT update your tracker code!

The tracker v2 is finally out! CB was one of the first tracker providers - since 2003 - so its only fitting that we have the very best one! Here are the features of the new tracker:

- New and improved user interface
- Daily and monthly bar graphs
- 30 days of log details (individual hits)
- New measures to prevent hijacking
- In-depth IP information (identify, comment, track recent visited)
- Supports all personal sites (myspace, hi5, xanga, livejournal, blogger)
- Tracks top visitors, destination and referer pages

MYSPACE USERS: If you were using the tracker, you will need to restart the tracker to resume logging. To do this, go to your cb tracker page, and there should be a link at the very top in red (not the one below the graph). All your information will be saved, so you need not worry about that. DO NOT update your about me tracker code or the tracker will no longer work!

Hi Micron~

Just wanted to add my 2 cents...

I loved the old tracker because of what so many have already expressed previously - it was simple and straightforward. At a glance I was able to see new hits and how they ranked below this section in order of hit count. I knew who many of the people were who were checking my page so, in a way, it was almost like a bidding race at times to see if so and so was going to take the hit lead in front of another so and so.

With that said, I have to say that I also really appreciate many of the new features of v.2. No, it's not as streamlined but I like the fact that I can now identify the people hitting my page with their pictures. Of course, it doesn't work with everyone since, for whatever reason, some people's IP number shows up as 0.0.0.0 (any inclination as to why that is???)- yet with the city and state corresponding, I do know who some of them are without being able to identify them as I can with the others who show complete IP's regardless of whether the city and state are shown initially before identification.

I do like the old graph formatting from v.1 with the bottom to top graphing bars over the newer top to bottom arrangement - but I do like the new feature that allows you to hover over the bar and see the daily count. With v.1 that was a bit of educated guesswork if you didn't want to click on the actual date and view the total hit count for previous days.

Regardless, as another wise person wrote in previously, this service is !!FREE!! so I'm certainly not going to fuss overmuch about how the final v.2 turns out when all is said and done. It's evident that so much hard work and effort has been put into the new version and I, for one, really admire and appreciate what you've done based on what I've seen so far. It's become an invaluable tool for me. I do have another tracker on my page but I've noticed that this one, although not as detailed with information as the other, does actually track hits better. If I flip back and forth between the two, the other misses at least two hits in between every one that this one tracks. That's yet another reason why I love this tracker!!

So.... any ideas as to when it will actually be up and working???

And by the way, thank you! Thanks for creating v.1 in the first place and thanks, too, for all the effort that's gone in thus and all the effort still to come on v.2. Much appreciated!!
