Who is creeping your facebook page

This functionality violates Facebook's privacy rules. If you've fallen prey to a purported stalker app or any other type of Facebook malware , be sure to check out Facebook's instructions for revoking app access to your account. That said, there are a couple ways to get clues and insights into who's been floating around your profile. You won't end up with the definitive list you're likely looking for but keep reading for tips and tricks that toe -- but don't cross!

First, it's important to understand the lingo. There's a big difference between Facebook pages , Facebook profiles, and Facebook Stories. Facebook Stories were introduced in as the company's way of countering the immense popularity of Snapchat.

Stories are collections of photos and videos from the past 24 hours, and after a day, they automatically vanish, in a manner reminiscent of Snapchat. Users can see who has visited their Stories and even pinpoint which bits of content each visitor viewed.

But again, a Story is not your profile [sources: Kelly , Sulleyman ]. Then, there are fan pages. Profiles, which are supposed to serve simply for social functions, don't. Facebook Insights is the easiest way to get a handle on your business or fan page traffic.

Among other metrics, Insights tells users the number of people who like their page, how many people see a post and how many people clicked the post. It's already in the Facebook app directory, so simply search for it within Facebook, and you can have it installed with a couple of clicks.

The problem, for those who want to stalk the stalkers, is that the company has imposed some limits intended to make it more difficult to determine precisely who's viewing and clicking your page and clicking your posts. For example, Page Insights are only available to pages with more than 30 likes and only provide demographic info once at least 30 visitors from the demographic have visited the page or post.

If you want more full-featured analytics, you're going to have to get a little creative. One place to go for analytics is outside data monitoring sites like Webtrends. Simply set up an account, and Webtrends will return somewhat detailed analytics about the number and type of people viewing your Facebook business or fan page. With a little finagling, you can also can install the gold standard of Web-tracking services, Google Analytics. This bad boy allows users to get finite data, like date, time and location, about visitors to their pages.

First set up a Google Analytics account, and then add a new profile for your Facebook fan or business page. This requires a number of steps to integrate Google Analytics with the particular page. The good news is that Google has been kind enough to provide detailed instructions for doing that, as well as using tracking services on other social networks like Twitter. Designers know there's a market for Facebook apps that allow you to see who views your profile. And they also know that Facebook has strict privacy rules forbidding it.

So many designers toe this line, bringing you right up to the edge of something resembling actual knowledge. Typing the word "statistics" into the Facebook app directory returns a long list of traffic tracking apps , similar to Facebook Insights. If this happens, you should take action. If somebody has tried to login to your account, you will receive an email to let you know.

To check where and when your account has been logged into you need to go to your security and login settings. If somewhere looks unfamiliar to you or you want to keep your Facebook on one device you simply click the three vertical dots that will bring up a menu and then press log off. Change your passwords on devices and for accounts t hat you regularly use, like social media, PayPal, MyGov and Google. Your password should consist of more than eight characters and include random characters, numbers and letters.
