Any ideas (besides making the page private)?
Here's a link for those who havent seen it yet... http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=352575956
I just added it and am testing it out. So far no visits yet.
How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
Even though it's been suspended, would it still be a good idea to just go ahead and block the application? Or is it strictly subscription based, and if you don't subscribe are you safe from being tracked?

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
I thought the only way this profile tracker worked is by inviting your friends to also use the tracker. It only tracks people who also use the tracker. That is my understanding of this application.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

If I am not mistaken, doesn't it say that the person visiting your profile must chose to be recorded
This application lets your friends to tag your profile when they come to visit it.

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
okay so i installed the adblock for f.f and i added the "counter" to my myspace.
how come i can only view who has viewed my profile on my "profile" and not my "home page" but i just wanna make sure i did this correctly with what said how to block/still use the "counter"
installed adblock to Firefox
added counter to ms
now i have to add http://api.msappspace.com* to mylist on adblock,and that will make my "counter" dissapear? and then when i wanna view it i take api.msa off of adblock...correct?
so im not actually blocking it on myspace 's "block this app"

I just realized you need to have the app showing on your profile. to work If you have it on your homepage only it wont work.

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
That sucks, why do they even have the option to only put it on your homepage then! Is there any code that will let you have it on your profile but not be visible??

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
I haven't tried this yet but want to. I really want to know if a certain person is looking at my profile and I lost her ID (ugh!) but if my profile is set to private, will it still track her? Do we put it in our headline? I really need her ID again...this could be the solution!

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
OK, I added this application 12 hours ago, but it still says I have no visitors. I've already received comments from friends, so I know that isn't true. I'm thinking it doesn't track people who comment you through the "comment back" feature, only if they actually visit your page.
And since says it won't track visitors if my page is private, I'm thinking I might make my profile public for a few days.
I do have mixmap in my headline, which I adore, but I can't tell if she's visiting my page because I don't know her location. What I need is this new app to show me a link to her myspace profile so I can get her ID again.
*crossing fingers*

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
Ok, i tried another app and it's also hosted on api.msappspace.com so that's most likely a domain owned by myspace and is probably used for all apps. Which means that blocking the domain blocks all apps. So i'm taking that filter from the list.
I've tried to find distinguishing characteristics of the counter and it seems to use the domain funsk.com which is a facebook apps site. I don't even know if blocking it will take out the tracker but blocking the funsk.com site will block anything on there, so people with facebook who want to use that site might not want to block it.
Basically, to block it and not block other apps use the other method: go to the page of the app, click "report this app" and then "block profile counter".

Is that why my apps aren't working?

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
I dont see how this new tracker is aggravating at all. It does what it says it does, it doesnt interfere with other trackers, and its free. Seems like a huge win-win to me.

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
I havent had any luck with it since I installed it.
I even logged in as my friend (I have her password), logged in as my husband, and as a 2nd profile I have and visited my page with each. It STILL shows no visitors.
(tried with both ie and Firefox)

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
hi there fizzleb , yes this works as such - a profile counter and it does tell you who has visited your myspace. but it does not tell you when or how many times and they do not track returns to your profile. also you cant delete anyone who visits you. but if you have other trackers maybe say profile tracker or mixmap maybe it will help you id your visitors.

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
Another way to block it: on the page of the app click "Report this App" and then "Block Profile Counter".
Also, this wasn't created by Myspace but by some guy Douglas. I doubt it will be around for very long.

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
fyi - i figured out how to add an individual application to your blocked list. if you go to the application profile, like one of the ones listed in this thread, and you click on Report this App, it will send you to a page with three options. one of the options is to block the app from accessing your data. of course, if you block it, you can not use the application either.
also, i confirmed that checking "don't share any data" does NOT stop these apps from tracking you. that merely stops your pic from showing up in your friends' apps, etc. so don't rely on that to stop apps from seeing/tracking you.

So let me get this straight...I am using the updated list for adblock from Bottlebob. If I go to the applications site and check "don't share any data" I could still be tracked? I tried reading through all the threads and that is what I understood. Sorry if I sound dumb, but is there any way to block this? I'm really not interested in using it on my profile to track others, but I'm concerned of someone using this application to track me.

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
Adblock does NOT block this application. If you click "dont share data" you WILL still be tracked. The only way you can block the application is to go to the application and click on Report This Application. You can then block it that way. However, that means you cannot use the application, at all.

Re: How do we block the new Myspace Tracker?
i have already put it at 18 plus so they have to sign in to see my profile. but im not sure if this counter picks up repeat visits-or it just picks them up the one time. do they move to top of list as with a ip tracker?
maybe if someone isnt too busy maybe they could test this with a fake. i dont have one to use. x
