Tracker for Facebook (does it exist??)
Sun, 12/19/2010 - 8:13pm
All of the most popular posts at this website in terms of page-hits and comment activity all seem to be the "who has been looking at my Facebook" or "Is there a Tracker for Facebook?" posts/questions - this despite the fact that none of these posts have a definitive answer on whether or not a tracker for Facebook even exists! To make matters worse, we see news every day of new scams that claim to allow you to track who looks at your Facebook (for a price!) or that claim to be trackers for Facebook when all they really do is steal your private information - or worse.
So here is the lowdown on getting a tracker for your Facebook profile: As of this time, you cannot add a tracker of any kind to your Facebook page that will reliably track everyone that visits your profile
A few reasons why you can't put a reliable tracker on your Facebook:
- Facebook filters (does not allow) HTML or JAVASCRIPT: This means that you simply cannot paste any 'tracker code' onto your page like you can with Myspace. Well.. you could, but Facebook would filter it out rendering it useless
- Facebook Tracking apps don't work!: Well, actually, some of the Facebook tracking apps DO work as advertised - but what they dont mention up front is that the person you want to track also has to either install the same tracking app or "give permission" to allow the tracker app to access their Facebook info. Some people may just automatically hit "ok" without thinking about it, but many stalkers will not. This means that you have no reliable way to know if the tracker is tracking everyone
- Most/Many Facebook trackers are just scams: Who'd a thunk it?! Many people are desperate to see who's looking at their Facebook and would more than gladly fork-over a few dollars - scammers are more than ready to help with this by taking their money and vanishing. Buyer beware!
There have been a few ways to get around some of the restrictions of Facebook's HTML and Javascript filters by installing certain apps, and pasting-in specific tracking code. However at the time of this writing, these apps have all been "fixed" by Facebook - meaning, they don't work anymore.
I have also seen (posted here, and at other websites) much "urban legend" about secret trackers for Facebook existing. "Facebook in England lets you track who looks at your profile", "I knew someone in Germany that had access to view everybody that looked at their page" .. or, the most popular: "I wrote a special program in Assembler Language that I run on my PC that tracks everyone that has visited my Facebook profile" .. Well.. much like the story of the lady that cooked herself in a tanning-booth, they are just that, stories (aka bulls&!T !!)
So for now, there simply is no tracker for your Facebook that is reliable enough to mention. If one pops-up, we will be the first let you know. In the meantime, feel free to stalk those ex boyfriends and ex girlfriends with immunity and don't give your money to any scammers!
IF YOU HAVE OR KNOW OF A TRACKER FOR FACEBOOK THAT WORKS ?! Look at apps that we have already tested at this page: Facebook Trackers: Scam or Real?!

Re: Tracker for Facebook (does it exist??)
There seems to be a new tracker going around called "mychckhirst" . The comments on my friends posts are pretty much all the same and I know they all use abbrevs etc so it is probably not them at all. Just a scam. Any ideas?

Re: Tracker for Facebook - you think ????
Can I know who’s viewing my profile or how often it’s being viewed?
No, Facebook does not provide the ability to track who is viewing your profile, or parts of your profile, such as your photos. Applications by outside developers cannot provide this functionality, either. Applications that claim to give you this ability will be removed from Facebook for violating policy. You can report applications that provide untrustworthy experiences by clicking the "Report Application" at the bottom of the application’s About page, or by clicking "Report" at the bottom of any canvas page within the application.
This is off facebook about if someone has been tracking ya moves ,and this does not get any clearer than this.

Re: Tracker for Facebook (does it exist??)
I was curious about an old boyfriend, not stalking, just didn't know details about his life in the last couple of decades. I never get any on line search to come up with his name so I decided he was just a private person. I respect that. In looking up lots of old friends through Facebook search, thinking about a fall school reunion, I was surprised to see his name pop up. Wow. So I looked at his friends spot and went to his wife's page and then to his gorgeous daughter's page. Wondering if the daughter was married I went back to my friend's original page, except now it didn't exist. No amount of searching, trying the same path, etc. would get me there. Was he blocked all along to non-friends and the system protection failed at just that moment? It felt like he knew I was was looking at his page somehow and had me blocked. Creepy. What do you think?

Re: Tracker for Facebook (does it exist??)
Hello all again,just a wee thing a clocked on Facebook just last week, is that now they have opened the flood gates so you can put a nice picture as your wall like animals,cars,ect...I gave it a go from some page that popped -up but it place's a toolbar and creates a new browser too. But the thing is i un-installed it and on re-installing it only ticked the facebook tick not the others but it would not work so i am now going to take it all off again.
Lastly there is no way i would share nothing now on Facebook and have restricted everything in the ''customize-only me view'' as when all the horrible hacking was rife about around December onwards, i was getting Trojans with 28 files at a time so unreal, but they need to try there new stuff someplace a suppose, but to be honest this is a brand new laptop with built - in windows defender and believe me it is amazing as it simply grabs the threat and minutes later a pop-up defender box will appear and press remove the whole lot. So if your like me and most other tech - heads download it from the windows site free today as every single time i have been hacked this wee - gem blasts it to bit's,
So summer is upon us guy's and girls have a great one TAKE-CARE. (P.
I will try find a link to pin on for Defender,and i tried what-Web Of Trust simple little green circle protection but it's only flaw is it does not trust many sites and can be off-putting to the user but still good wee number. BYE Y'ALL YOU ALL COME BACK NOW YA HEAR.

Re: Tracker for Facebook (does it exist??)
The friends that show up on my page (the 10 whose faces displayed on my profile) are close friends. They are the only people whose profiles i look at it. When I go to my cousin's page the top 10 faces include me (cause i look at her profile often) and her kids and husband. i go to my ex-boyfriends page and I see me and his new girl friend and his best guy friends. Is there there something to the rumor that those faces displayed on your profile page are the people who have visited your profile or whose profile you visited. I have gone as far as to call friends and ask "did you look at my profile?" "yes why?" and if i visit a person who i never look at and move out of their profile to mine then back to his, there i am ! Am i delusional? is this merely coincidental?

Re: Tracker for Facebook (does it exist??)
Facebook likes to make changes and not really tell everyone. This is an easy way to get the word out - and currently the only way to assure that everyone can see it.
Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from the same people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and everyone else seems to be ignoring you?
Don't worry, everyone still loves you and nobody has intentionally blocked you. The problem is that a large chunk of your friend/fan list can't see anything you post and here's why:
The "New Facebook" has a newsfeed setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people who you've recently interacted with or interacted the most with (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the new profile). So in other words, for both business and personal pages, unless your friends/fans commented on one of your posts within those few weeks or vice versa - you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!!
HERE'S THE FIX: On the homepage click the "Most Recent" title on the right of the Newsfeed, then click on the drop down arrow beside it and select "Edit Options", click on "Show Posts From" and change the setting to "All Of Your Friends and Pages" (you can also access the "Edit Options" link at the very bottom of the facebook homepage on the right) Note: Business pages do not have a newsfeed however page owners should adjust the settings on their personal accounts.
The good news is: now you can now view all of your friends and fans again. The bad news is: YOU ARE STILL INVISIBLE to a large portion of your list. You must get the word out to ALL of your friends and fans by inviting them to this event or creating one of your own so they can read the post and adjust their settings. To invite your friends: Click on "Attending" at the top and then you will see an option to invite your friends at the top left. It’s public so everyone who logs onto facebook can view it and even the friends who can’t see your posts WILL see the event invitation. You can also tweet about it, create a blog post or send out an email to your subscribers in hopes of reaching them all.

Re: Tracker for Facebook (does it exist??)
I would start over again as you must have a better account than this for your own self-worth,just go to google,live,yahoo mail,any different e-mail system and Deactivate your original facebook account. Then with your brand new e-mail address re-join is what i would do but the name has to be totally different altogether so he does not clock-on to what you are doing as it's your right not his.

Re: Tracker for Facebook (does it exist??)
I'm guessing you have been stalking him, but here's my question: Did your relationship go that bad that started stalking you with ( possibly ) key strokes ? My guess is he still likes you or is just plain weird.... In any case: MAKE HIM JEALOUS. Go out with his best-friend. I know this doesn't have much to do with computer stuff, but yeah that's just plain great girl advice.
TTYL,

Re: Tracker for Facebook (it doesn't exist!!)
I have been thinking the same thing. I just looked at my list of "recently interacted" friends and its always showing friends that I have not spoken to or even visited their page. The friends that I actually have recently interacted with are not showing up on the list! It makes you wonder if there is something more to it. I was going to meet a friend the other day (we never talk on FaceBook and I set up the get together in person) They wound up standing me up, and coincdentally they are number 2 on my recently interacted list, like I said I never talk to them online. I figured they felt guilty & were checking my page out haha.

Forgive the invite. This is not really an "invitation", so no real need to press "attend" - Facebook likes to make changes and not really tell everyone. This is an easy way to get the word out - and currently the only way to assure that everyone can see it.
Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from t............he same people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and everyone else seems to be ignoring you?

Re: Tracker for Facebook (it doesn't exist!!)
I, like many, was curious to see who had visited my profile. It disappoints me that this isn't currently possible, but I think I'll live. But it does beg the question: why do we care about anonymity anyway? We can set our profile's privacy so only our friends can see it & in many layers at that. Yet I'm not allowed to know who's viewing my page? Thoughts?
