Do you have a MySpace page? Or do you have a commercial website? Or do you just have a website or a blog for your personal reasons? If so, surely you are curious about how many visitors you get! Sometimes you need to know in order to see if your website efforts are worth it. Sometimes you simply want to know how popular you and your website really are!
In either case, there are counters available online. Several of these services are free and some are paid. You may already be using a "hit counter" to determine your number of visitors' views. If you do already have one on your page, you better check it out. The same way they track your visitors, a lot of them track YOU too. The famous tracking cookies! The annoying little boogers that weigh your PC down and slow you down to a crawl. Be careful.
Of the 20 I checked on, 11 were okay to use. Here are my results:
BAD:
- histats.com
- statcounter.com
- addfreestats.com
- extremetracking.com
- cqcounter.com
- statsmachine.com
- eztrackz.com
- tamingthebeast.net
- dynamicsitestats.com
GOOD:
Have a nice day anyway!
MySpace users are drawn to the site because of all of the bells & whistles - the tweaks, the enhancements, the decorations. They love to and live to "pimp" their pages. I researched 23 websites after googling "myspace tweaks" and "myspace codes." Only six of them were safe! As a matter of fact, every website on page one of the Google results turned out to be ones to avoid. How sad!
Online predators know that the majority of MySpace users are carefree teenagers. Those who thrive on exploitation know that teens don't hesitate or question anything - they're on MySpace for fun not fear. They are "sitting ducks" - a computer crash waiting to happen.
It's disgraceful that these bad people - hackers, advertisers, spammers, etc. - are doing this and giving MySpace more of a bad name than it already has. Is anything safe anymore?
One more reason to justify blocking MySpace from my computers!
Here's my findings:

Avoid the websites here on this list. BUT, this list is definitely NOT complete. Check every MySpace-related site before you click it with SiteAdvisor.
Better safe than sorry!
