If you’re a WordPress Blogger: Try to install the wp-geotrack plugin. It’s cool, man!
Visual tracking your sites visitors without any work to do:
Unfortunatelly I have a lot of “bad” visitors trying to spam my guestbook. Also this spam attacs are been logged by wp-geotrack. But actually I dont’ want wp-geotrack to log them because they also will be displayed as regular visitors. So I made a little wp-geotrack modification:
Go to your /plugins directory
Edit wp_geotrack.php
Around line 530 following code can be found:
$uri = addslashes($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
After this line, add following code and change ti to your behaviour, so it should look like this:
$uri = addslashes($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
// MODIFICATION TO NOT DETECT TO A SPECIFIC URL (JULY 2007)
if (strpos($uri,'guestbook') != false)
{
return;
}
In this examle, any page with the string “guestbook” in it will not be logged by wp-geotrack.
Save it. That’s it.
See it running here at SERPland’s Visitor List
