MySpace began as a networking site for young people, but now everyone wants a piece of the action. The site is currently full of businesses and corporations seeking to reach new audiences. The best way to find out who your MySpace page is reaching, is to install a tracker on your MySpace page. Read on to learn how to see who visits a MySpace page.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

MySpace account
Computer with Internet connection

Step 1

Search for a site that offers a MySpace tracker to count your visitors. Some trackers are made especially for MySpace, while others are generic hit counters that can be used on any website.
Step 2

Create an account with the tracking site. This will allow you access to statistics on your visitors after you have installed the tracker.
Step 3

Customize the MySpace tracker you have selected. Most websites that offer trackers and hit counters allow you to change the color and style of the tracker to match your web page. Generate the code you will need and save it in a text file.
Step 4

Go to your MySpace account. Go to "Edit Profile" and paste the code you have copied at the start or end of the "About Me" section. Save your changes and preview. You should now have a working hit counter or tracker for your MySpace visitors.
Step 5

Login to your tracking account to see who has been visiting your MySpace page.

Tips & Warnings

A MySpace page is a web page, even if it doesn't look like it. That's why generic hit counter code will work on the page.
Some sites offer free trackers with no sign-up process. This might be a deciding factor when thinking about which MySpace tracker to choose. Another factor is whether the counter will track IP addresses, countries and MySpace usernames or just visitor numbers.
Some visitor trackers are invisible.
A MySpace tracker uses the information in the cookie set by the site to track MySpace usernames. It is not always accurate.
