Feedjit Live Traffic Feed FAQ

Return to Feedjit's Home Page | Feedjit Terms of Use

What does the live traffic feed do?

Feedjit's live traffic feed shows statistics on your website in real-time. It shows:

Which city and country your visitors are in
Which website they arrived from, if any
Which page they visited on your website
Which external link they clicked to leave your site, if any

How frequently is the data updated?

Feedjit widgets are updated in real-time. Your traffic feed is updated as each visitor arrives on your site. The update occurs before the widget loads which means that each of your visitors can see their own location displayed.

What about the privacy of my visitors?

We don't show any personally identifiable information. However, if your visitors don't want their future visits displayed, they can click "options" on the widget and select "Ignore my browser".

Your website visitor's geographic location is shown at the city level. We don't show actual addresses and each city we display contains at least several thousand other people. All other information we display is public data sent by your visitor's browsers and appears in website logs across the Web.

Do you protect me from referrer spam?

Yes. If a browser sends Feedjit a fake referrer to try and appear multiple times on your (and other) websites, then we will ban it from appearing on all Feedjit widgets.

General Questions about Feedjit

What do I need to do to install Feedjit?

Your blog or website must have its own domain name to use any Feedjit widget. We also support subdomains. If you have your own domain name, simply visit our home page and customize the widget you want. Then either cut and paste the script we provide, or if you use Blogger or Typepad you can install Feedjit with one click.

Feedjit will work on all pages hosted on any of the following sites:

http://myblogsdomain.com/
http://mysubdomain.somebloghost.com/
http://myblog.blogger.com/
http://a.whole.bunch.of.subdomains.hosted.on.example.com/

Feedjit will not work correctly if your site is hosted as a subdirectory on a shared host e.g. http://sharedhosting.com/myblog/

Does Feedjit work on Wordpress.com blogs?

Unfortunately Wordpress.com does not support Javascript widgets like Feedjit. Feedjit does work on many other blog platforms including Blogger, Typepad and the open source version of Wordpress available at Wordpress.org.

Does Feedjit work on MySpace?

No. MySpace users don't have their own domain name and MySpace does not support Javascript widgets like Feedjit.

Is Feedjit going to slow down my website?

Feedjit is very fast and is used by several high traffic commercial websites. We constantly analyze our own performance and servers so that we can easily handle traffic spikes.

My website gets a lot of traffic. Can Feedjit support it?

If you serve more than 2 Million page views per day or more than 60 million page views per month then please contact us before you install Feedjit.

How accurate is the geographic database that Feedjit uses?

We can determine the geographic locations at the city level of 90% of your website visitors. Those that we can't determine are usually in remote locations, new towns or developments or behind corporate or ISP firewalls. We periodically update our database to include new locations.

How do I contact you if I have any questions?

If you'd like to contact us, email support at feedjit.com.

What are your terms of use and privacy policy?

Our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are available on this page. Please read them carefully before you install Feedjit.
