Who Viewed My Profile - Marketing Trick to Attract Visitors

When publishers want to attract a lot of users to their page, they promise them that they make an app with which you can see who visited your profile - this is a new marketing trick, according to AllFacebook.

"These applications are the latest trick by scam developers to drive an immense amount of traffic while simultaneously placing countless ads on each page. While the developers could argue that the applications are “for entertainment purposes”, there isn’t even a disclaimer which states that the apps are fake. These applications require that users grant them permission to write to their profile wall on their behalf and then immediately post a link bank to the application."

Most such applications have been shut down as they violate the Facebook's terms and conditions. Facebook Profile Watcher continues to operate under a misleading title. Rather than displaying who viewed your profile, the application produces relevant information about your friends, such as the most popular events among your friends.
