More than other people, we are interested in ... our own person. Indeed, representatives of the human race are designed so that most of the time they tend to think about themselves and the impression they make on others. Today, with the increased popularity of social networks, we can enjoy the attention to our lives, put something on display, boast about something or complain in order to get support. And, of course, we want to know if someone is watching us in the virtual space, whether he is interested in our life. To do this, there are personal VKontakte pages or other resources that our friends and other users can visit. If desired, we can find out how many times a day our page was viewed and whether unique visitors were on it. VKontakte is possible thanks to the Statistics service. Read more about her and the opportunities that she provides, read below. But first, let's define what views are, and what is the difference between them and unique guests.
Unique visitors and views: what is it and how do they differ
Understanding what views are is not difficult. This is the number of times other users have visited your page. It doesn’t matter if it was the same person. Or there were several. Each new visit - plus one to the number of views.
Unique visitors are another matter. "VKontakte" is users who for a certain period of time (in this case, a day) first visited your page. This is established based on the IP computer from which you logged in, as well as the uniqueness of an account with a specific username / password pair. Here it is worth considering the following: if the same person visited the page twice from different devices or from one, but under different accounts, then the system will count it as two unique visitors. Because of this, discrepancies with real and actual data may occur.
Thus, unique visitors and views on VKontakte are not the same thing. They may vary. The number of views is always greater than or equal to the number of unique ones in your statistics, but never the other way around.
VKontakte statistics: how to get
Let's see where you can get these statistics, how to analyze it. In order for it to appear on your page, you must fulfill the prerequisite - you must have at least 100 subscribers. Otherwise, this service will not be available to you. Upon reaching the specified number of signatories, statistics will appear automatically in the left column of the page (in the same place as audio and video recordings, photographs, etc.). In the group, if you are its administrator, it is available immediately after creation.
What will the statistics service tell you about?
So, what data is provided by the statistics of the VKontakte page:
- unique visitors and views (attendance);
- audience reach
- visitor activity.
In each section there are graphs that clearly provide information about when and how many times your page was visited from other accounts. By geographic and demographic graphs, you can track which countries and cities your visitors are from, what age and gender they are. At the same time, unique visitors to VKontakte are the bottom schedule, and views are the top one (there are always more of them, less often - the same). If there are not many visits, then you can try to determine (using this data) which of your friends specifically looked at your page. If your popularity is high, then it will be difficult to do, almost impossible.
Audience reach
In the Reach section, you can get information about your audience. It displays all the users who viewed the wall on your page, as well as were interested in your news. Data can be obtained both for a day (for specific days) and for the whole month.
Guest Activity
The Activity section tells you how active your visitors were. This is determined on the basis of comments and photos they commented on, likes put down and reposts made. You can also see who hid you from his news feed. For some, this is an occasion to think about how much the content and photos they provide are interesting to other people.
Is it possible to find out who specifically visited the page?
Many users do not have enough information that statistics provides. It is not surprising, because the most important thing remains a secret - the specific names of the guests. How to look at the visitors of VKontakte, having received more complete information about their identity? The answer is simple: "No way." Unfortunately (and maybe, fortunately) it was impossible to find out exactly which users looked at your VKontakte page, and it was never possible.
Someone will not agree now, because there are a lot of applications that allow you to catch guests, for example, “My fans and guests” and others. Most often, the work of such applications is as follows: they collect statistics about the various actions that visitors perform on the user’s page. This can be likes and comments, reposts, etc. Then, the user who installed the application is given information about his fans and guests, based on such statistics. Most applications warn about this, but few read all the details. Agree, you can track the above actions yourself.
Visitor tracking apps can be dangerous
In addition, the site administration warns users to beware of various applications and programs offering the dubious service of "catching" guests. This can lead to unpleasant consequences, for example, such programs often steal passwords from user accounts and started sending spam from their page, blocked access to it, etc.
Most applications that promise to reveal all the cards and show your visitors with their names / profile links are created for making money. The naive users install them, providing access to personal information, and then also send SMS messages or register their mobile numbers on suspicious sites, and as a result remain left with nothing but without money and without information about visitors.
Trap for the curious
There is another service that enjoyed considerable interest among curious users looking for ways to see visitors to the VKontakte page. It was a trap for guests who visited the page and were looking for something interesting. The trap was an ordinary link supposedly to the user's personal diary. A visitor crossing it fell into the trap - in the application for tracking guests. A vivid example of such a service can be called the Pathfinder application, which was already released in two parts. However, the administration of the VKontakte website constantly blocks it, so it is unlikely to use the service.
Statistics and nothing but
Thus, the question of how to look at unique VKontakte visitors and find out how many times your page was viewed per day has one single answer. Take advantage of the data obtained from statistics. There are no other ways. All you need for this is to recruit 100 or more subscribers, and the service will appear automatically. As for more detailed information, it is impossible to get it. Yes and whether it is necessary? After all, unique visitors to VKontakte are often just random people who hit the page for the first and last time. Let this be a little mystery to you.
