I use to be able to see how many people looked at my WikiWorldBook page and now that is gone or I can't find it.

Hi Cheri

Thanks for your comment. We decided to leave that indicator out from the new design because we felt it was misleading. Many apologies!

Although, as you rightly point out, it told you how many people had visited your page, it couldn't tell you how many of those were relevant visits or just people passing by seeing what a general profile looked like. It couldn't for instance tell you whether someone stopped for half a second or 15 seconds.

I think we might review having a similar counter in future, but it would have to be significantly more sophisticated to be of any real use.

As it currently stands, your profile Search Alert will record anyone visiting your profile from a search engine - by someone searching for your name.

Best regards.
