Social networks appeared because people are curious by nature, they are interested in how others live: friends, classmates and colleagues. But most of all everyone is interested in their own personality and, accordingly, their own page. Many of those who use social networks are interested in how popular their page is, and here, when compared with other popular networks, VKontakte was a loser, since it was impossible to track how many people viewed your page. After the statistics in VKontakte appeared, the situation has changed a bit.
How to get data about visiting your page
In order to know how many users visited your page, you need to observe one basic condition - you must have at least one hundred subscribers. After that, the service will be provided to you automatically. It will appear in the left menu.
If your Vkontakte page statistics still do not work, although this condition is met, you must go to https://vk.com/stats?act=reach&mid=, where you must substitute your page number after the sign .
Where to get your page number
Many people changed the numbers that were previously in the link to the page, to the letters. In the link above, you must substitute the original value. The statistics "In Contact", if you enter the data incorrectly, will not appear. The easiest way to find the page number is through the settings menu. To do this, find “My Settings” in the left column and go to this tab. Scroll the page that appears to the very bottom - and in the third section below you will see the number of your page, and you need to substitute it for the link.
What is the statistics of "In Contact"
First of all, you will see a graph of traffic to your page. In it you can see two lines: unique users and views. The first means that another person came in and looked at the information from your page. Views mean that the user received the post or photo through the “My News” tab. The data on it is updated every day.
In general, the data that is available through this service is similar to that provided by the statistics of the VKontakte group. Below the schedule of visits and views, you can find such characteristics as:
- gender and age;
- the country;
- town;
- from which devices they visit your page;
- Subscriber changes.
If you want to make your page popular and, possibly, even make money, then all this information will be very interesting to you. There are several programs with which you can artificially increase the number of subscribers. This is enough to get statistics, but it will not add to your popularity. In order for the views tab not to be empty, as is usually the case with ordinary pages, you need to post interesting posts, photos and other content.
It’s important to find subscribers on your own. To do this, leave comments in public groups. If you are interested, then the statistics in VK will improve. Your statements should be original and attractive for this. It's easy to gain or lose popularity. The statistics of the VKontakte groups with which you interact also affect your success.
What doesn’t appear in visit data
Many of us would like to have guest statistics “VKontakte” introduced, which would not only display the number of visits, but also reveal the identities of those who are viewing your profile. There is no such service and is not yet expected, since this is the difference between this social network and others.
Many users are looking for alternative ways to find out about the page’s guests and often fall for the tricks of scammers who distribute applications that allegedly reveal the secret of visitors. In the best case, you will receive an application that will show false information, and in the worst, require you to deposit a certain amount into your account or send SMS (in this case, simply delete it) or hack your page. In the latter case, you will need to regain access and change the password. This is easy to do if you have a mobile phone attached to the page.
Another type of application offers placing on its page links-traps to extraneous services. It can also be attributed to doubtful and unreliable. After all, it is not known whether a person will follow the link and whether it will harm his computer. In this case, you may become the culprit in the infection of another PC or device with a virus.
