Is there a way to tell if people are reading your lj without responses??

Apparently you can see how many hits your journal gets and whose reading it? Where is this feature? And how does it work? I looked and I can't find it any where.

I've been wondering the same thing for a while...From what I read on my flist the feature does exist but I don't know where it is, and I'm pretty sure it's only for paid accounts.

I found this:

Not all that helpful, unfortunately.

You're right, not that helpful. Adding a counter sounds a bit like scanning things to my livejournal - it's all hard and stuff.

Wonder if that's what they are doing and if so, where do people find the time to do stuff like this? Sounds time consuming.

I ask because as I mentioned to londonkds below, on fandomlawyers, someone, was asking if they should be worried about a user with an ip_address at a law firm accessing their site on numerous occassions. Which raised the question - how did they know this??

You can turn on IP address posting of people who respond to comments, but that doesn't help if they're not responding.

I actually took a regular counter that logs IP addresses and imbedded it in my LJ entries. But I had to embed the code in each entry I wanted to count. Something to do with the way LJ technically uses frames. So I used it only for entries I was truly curious about. Embedding the code isn't a big deal. I used it in my personal LJ and I use it in every entry of my Fic community.

It's an external thing called LJToys. I'm a bit wary about it because I don't know if it collects info to advertise stuff or something.

Eww...the last thing I need is something that's going to collect info to advertise more stuff to me. I see enough advertisements as is.

I ask because someone on fandom_lawyers was wondering if they should be worried that an user with a legal firm ip address had been accessing their journal a lot.
