SiteMeter
SiteMeter Home Screen
SiteMeter "Details" page
"By Location" View (It's the same list, in the same order, for the same users as you see in the previous "Details" page, but it provides the City and State information –handy when you're looking for a date
Individual Details about Users (kinda cool because it tells you stuff about the domain name, ISP, the number of page views the user pulled up in a single session, and the user's OS and Browser)
Traffic Projection (SiteMeter makes a guess about what your traffic will look like in the next Hour, Day, Week and Month)
ProfileViewsPlus
ProfileViewsPlus (I can't say that I recommend this tracker, but I do use it. ProfileViewsPlus has a lot of interruption ads, which are just irritating. Also, I took the liberty of highlighting something in this page view: it's the "Filter Out" options. By default, it seems, it wants to "Filter Out" almost everything by default when you sign in, so you have to make sure you uncheck these boxes to see your report)
If you click the little magnifying glass next to the user's IP address, it will show a list of the user's previous page trafficking on your site
That's it really. not much to it.
ProfileSnitch
ProfileSnitch (I don't suggest using this tracker. First off, it sucks. that is, it's below average in its ability to track users –many go unnoticed by this service. Next, its always trying to get you to its Premium Account. for which, it boasts, that you can get the invisible ProfileSnitch tracker. which leads me to my next point: the bright, strobing, fluorescent ads that they attach to the embed code are so loud and obnoxious that you'll be pissed to see them on your page. But, if you want to try it out for
s and giggles, I'll show you how I altered the code so it doesn't have those nasty ads. This is an old account, I'm not using ProfileSnitch any longer because it's annoying, and I just don't like it. plus, it slows down my computer too.)
So, here is what the embed code looks like when you copy it from ProfileSnitch:
<a href="http://www.profsnitch-redir1.com"><img src="http://www.profsnitch-redir1.com/tracker24/64PK58KS05.gif" border="0"></a><br><a href="http://www.profsnitch-redir1.com">Track Who Is Viewing Myspace at <br> Profile Snitch</a>
To make things easier on myself, there's a suffix I use on every line of code that makes everything invisible: "border=0 height=0 width=0>". That way, I don't have to think and play around the with it too much, trying to figure out what's generating the ad. So, here's what the new would look like:
<a href=http://www.profsnitch-redir1.com border=0 height=0 width=0><img src="http://www.profsnitch-redir1.com/tracker24/64PK58KS05.gif" border=0 height=0 width=0></a><br><a href=http://www.profsnitch-redir1.com border=0 height=0 width=0></a>
There you go! If you wanna try out the invisible ProfileSnitch tracker, don't bother with a Premium Account. Save your money for a gallon of gas, and follow the changes I made, and you'll have it for FREE.
StatCounter
StatCounter (I know this tracker has already been touched on, but I have two different StatCounter "Projectsâ€, one for MySpace, and one for Blogger. For Blogger, StatCounter works like a charm, providing better information than Google Analytics. I'd tell you about it, but I'm gonna show you instead. However, for MySpace, it doesn't do as well. the StatCounter embed code has two parts, an HTML and an XHTML code, and XHTML doesn't work in MySpace. Unfortunately, that happens to be the portion of code that gives StatCounter the ability to track where people are coming to your page from, what they're doing while their on your site, and where they're going while they leave)
This is an example of a "Recent Activity" report on StatCounter for my Blogger page. I've highlighted one of the lines so you can see the user's Referring URL.
However, this is a report from MySpace "Project." You'll notice that all the reports' Referring URLs read: "No referring link.â€
It's too bad that StatCounter doesn't record the referring URL on a MySpace Profile, but it's still pretty cool. There's a lot of features on this site too. I could tell you about it, but it'd probably be easier just to check it out.
