How to track interest in a social networking profile page

Most social networking sites have an ability to track the number of people who have visited your site.

This is a great indicator of how popular your site is, although tracking should be done over a few months to see the trend.

On Bebo you can see page views by hour, day and month. On Facebook there is also a function that allows you to see how many page views you are getting on your organisation’s page (not applicable for a normal Facebook profile).
