MySpace Profile Trackers

How the MySpace Profile Trackers Work

Profile trackers for MySpace are lines of programming code entered onto your profile page with MySpace. Once this lengthy code is downloaded to your MySpace profile page, the tracking begins. The programming code uses cookies technology and advanced programming features to capture and store all pertinent information about your profile's visitors. After activation, the code is on your MySpace profile; you can visit your profile page anytime and see stats about your page visitors. Most of the available software code features are updated in real time so you will be viewing accurate information.

The profile trackers can still give inaccurate information if there are multiple users for one computer. To solve this issue, each registered MySpace user should have a separate profile tracking account code. Then, simply have each user sign on to his or her MySpace account one at a time so that the software code can read the correct member’s information.

Profile Trackers and Compatibility

Most of the software trackers require that you download a specific code provided by their website onto your profile page at MySpace. After you enter the code, you can view the MySpace visitor’s statistical data from your profile page.

Many profile trackers require that users have accounts with their particular website software in order to view other users on your profile page. For instance, users who have a profile tracking software from XYZ Profile Trackers will only be able to view other users who have the same XYZ software. Users who have software from the ABC profile software company will only be able to view users with the same software. Tracking profile software that is generically compatible with the ability to work with any code will likely require a subscription-based membership to use their services.

What Information is Tracked

The format and layout of each profile tracker may be different, but the information tracked is essentially the same. Information gathered by the profile trackers include:

• The visitor’s or member’s IP address and browser type
• A display of the current number of visitors on your profile page along with the total number of visits to the MySpace site
• A photo display of the most recent visitors to view your profile page. If the visitor does not have a photo, the photo display will simply say “anonymous” but will give you the member's user ID
• The frequency of the visits made by the member or visitor
• A log of links or pages the visitor accessed while visiting your profile page
