Urchin and Profile Views Count

As long as you are logged in then it does count as one hit on yours and someones else's myspace. 

About blocking urchin (I do think it is for myspace profile/blog view counters)...I wouldn't recommend blocking that..it could get your profile deleted possibly.

I'm pretty sure you count toward the view counter. You're assigned a "token" even when logged out.

Momof3, I'm guessing that your main concern is that you want to check out your teenage children and don't want to be tracked, so I'm going to address all your issues here in this post.

• More than likely you stopped yourself from being tracked when you disabled everything in Adblock.
• Myspacewatch is not a downloadable program and only requires that you put the url in for the person you wan to monitor. Feel free to try it out, your IP address is not being tracked and they're not invasive with emails. Heck, I just received one last week and I completely forgot that I even had an account with them...and that was over a year ago. It was kinda of funny to think that I had this profile crawled for over a year...and forgot about it.
• Myspacewatch is pretty much worthless...
• I would check out your teenagers with a proxy IP - there are plenty of references here in this forum to them - just search for them. There is no way that your geographical location will show up.
• There should be no working trackers that will show your profile if you're signed in while surfing through a proxy IP address.

Hope this helps.

>>>Myspacewatch crawls the profile each time it does count as a view on Myspace's view count..

How did you know that...you crawled yourself? If that's the case, sign up for mixmap tracker and stick it in your profile to verify.

>>>would be logging info for the IP address of the server that crawled the profile or the IP you used when signing up

I would be surprised if it showed your sign-up IP address - that's just too complicated and unnecessary from the server end.

Just a thought, but why don't you 'advertise' that you're looking at their profile? It may keep them straight...

I'm afraid if I did that, they'd follow their brother's lead and make them private.

Ooh, you're sneaky!

I know this has probably been explained and re-explained, but just so I'm clear. A graphic or picture or something has to actually load before info can be tracked, right? So, in theory then, if you've blocked all the trackers or the profile is set to private, is it possible or what would make it possible for you IP address, referrer, etc. to still be logged?

That's what I'm gathering. Would you be able to identify this by looking at the source code in the "private profile" page?

Yeah..

But can you see it in Adblock (profile tracker in the headline)??

That was the one thing that made me hesitate...

I do know that "Dave" and his MyspaceMozilla ext. was able to see it in my profile..somehow..and successfully added it to his list of tracker warnings.

Of course, I did point out that it was there...
