I visited a new provider recently who recently joined P411 and was still learning about the site. She showed me her Statistics page and asked me to clarify it. I was completely unaware that providers apparently receive information about the number of "hits" to their profile, by whom (including the number times a particular member or nonmember views their profile and the date), which state they are from, etc. Though not completely surprised I found it to be an interesting fact I wasn't aware of...

My thought was that if a provider wasn't receiving what she perceives as an acceptable number of hits, she might want to make some modification to her promotion efforts, possibly by changing her profile pic or by doing more/different advertising. If she tours, I suppose the information about the states where the hits came from might potentially be useful. It would be interesting to hear some provider's perspectives on this...maybe in reality it's not all that valuable (as you say).
Y'all may laugh but I am truly geeking out over this.
*adjusts librarian high bun and slides tortoise shell glasses up the bridge of my nose* P411 isn't the only one to provide stats; Eros and Slixa also provide stats. Eros specifically just lets a provider know how many hits an ad receives. Slixa is a bit more in-depth, showing a provider how many people requested specific information and viewed their ad. Neither tells us who these people are. In regards to some Canadian forums I am a part of, they will show us how many "reads" an ad has received just like TER. I find this information helps immensely, especially when tailoring to a niche market as I am exotic & full-figured. It's great to try and appeal to everyone but it's also great to hone in on those that can appreciate a provider for where they are in their business/journey at that current time. While I agree that for some it may be date overload, it really is rather powerful if a provider harnesses it correctly and ACTUALLY utilizes it. It's like I tell myself, "You cannot do better, if you do not know." I believe that us as providers should feel free to run our businesses as we see fit, but it also does help to ask questions from time to time and to utilize our analytics.I am not as up on the tech as I used to be, but I believe that it is now possible to track numerous aspects of the page-specific surfing experience. I think they can track scrolling ("Are they reading around [up/down L/R] the page or just staring [or not staring] at the header?"), time spent on the page (not just the hit, but hit+duration), and so on.
It would not surprise me if programmers figured out how to turn on the local camera to watch person reading the page and then use more software to track their eye movements to figure out which page content kept their attention, down to the millimeter. Maybe websites will soon add key logging, too, as a backup to filling out forms or search boxes. Creepy
That makes two of us.
Because a warning always pops up telling me that the hobbyist will be able to see that I looked at his profile.
I've been on P411 pretty much daily for years and I haven't noticed that I have access to that info. It must be available on a drop down menu.All I'm able to view is how many hits I got, from which states, and the membership level of each visitor.
....
I thought it showed handles of profile viewers if they were members, but maybe it was just whether they were a member or nonmember, their state, and the number of times that person accessed the page, and the date.

Well, it's not entirely what you think it is. I haven't seen any analytics that tracks scrolling (not that that may not exist) BUT yes, even good 'ol google analytics tracks time spent on each page. And that has been that case for probably a decade and is completely normal in this day and age.

...or can be used to keep an eye on a would-be stalker. That happens. And now would-be stalkers are aware. Will figure out how to get around that and invent another way to stalk.
Or she can be completely unaware of how to use any of it and ask for analyses from a client and let him declare to the world all the info she has access to. Some girls just have no clue about how far reaching the practice of discretion should go, and how to keep info to themselves for the safety of all the girls. But then this is business that anybody can do, without any formal education (and it was meant to be that way, except there is more access and more 'watchers' than ever before, i'm sure)
