I just recently started a blog on Blogger. Previous to that I had always used Xanga. Xanga has a feature they call 'footprints' that allows you to see who the visitors to your blogs are. I was wondering if Blogger had anything like that.
If they dont, is there a way that I can track who visits my blog? I am interested to see if it always the same people or if several different people visit.
How do you keep track of who visits your blog? Or dont you?

I use a free tracker from statcounter.com on my blog and it seems to be pretty good. I just use it out of curiosity, I like to know how people find my blog and stuff like that. It tells you the IP address and location of your visitors, what their path was, search terms etc. It tells you returning visitors vs. new ones. If you know who an IP belongs to you can also label it which I think is a nice feature. Plus it's free which it always good! I think you can upgrade the features for a fee so it's good that way too.

As far as I know there is no direct application that alllows you to do this on Blogger. There are some indirect ways. I presume that my "followers" read my blog on a regular basis. But one also needs to remember that one can follow a blog and chose to do it privately (I subscribe couple dozen blogs that I do not follow publicly). I notice who regularly comments on my blog entries. I also try to keep track of who has a link to my blog on their blog.
My question to you: Is tracking your audience actually useful?
