detailed view/visitor location widget?
-
Is there a way to see where the people who are viewing my blog are located more than just the country? I want to know maybe the area where they are looking and how many times they are checking my page?
I have a cyber stalker, and I want to know if they have found it already..
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
There is no such widget that I know of that depicts regions and can be used on a WordPress.COM blog. See here for the stats support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/
If this is a case of criminal stalking and you have reason to be fearful then please call the police.
We cannot block or delete subscribers from public blogs. Anyone and everyone can access public blogs and that’s indeed what the public designation means. However, please read this about public blogs that become private blogs > Blog Privacy and Subscribers > http://wpcommaven.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/blog-privacy-and-subscribers/
To change blog visibility to Private go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading scroll to Site Visibility and choose option 3

Note that you have complete control over everything that’s posted to your blog via comment moderation
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderationFor trolls, you can “blacklist” them at Settings > Discussion toward the bottom of that page. Enter their email address, their username, and if they included it, their website URL. That will automatically send them to moderation so that their comments do not appear on the blog. Do note though that if they are determined, they can use a different email address or username to get around that.
Also, do not put their IP address in the blacklist. IP addresses are no longer unique, and you might end up blocking legitimate visitors. In fact for over a decade only about 30% of us have IPs that trace back to any individual computer. Also, all they would have to do is go to a wi-fi hot spot, or connect via a different ISP and they could get around that.
Our reality is that if the ability to remove or followers existed our time would be squandered on removing unwanted followers because anyone can get a new email address and or a new IP in seconds flat and then they can subscribe again to any public blog they were removed from.

@ naturalmystic095,
StatCounter identifies the location of a visitor by city or town, using the visitor’s IP address, also identifying the path a visitor takes through your site if multiple pages are visited, the . Since IP addresses are typically dynamic, the accuracy of such location ids is variable.
Other web traffic analysis tools work similarly.

@ galois,
What’s your point? I answered the question asked by the OP, providing a helpful suggestion of a service that provides specifically the kinds of detailed information the OP is seeking. What does your post contribute? -
@ galois,
Sorry. I see your point now. I addressed my Statcounter response to the wrong member. It should have been addressed to thetalesofayogi.
