I know that stuff about people reading me from outside by my sitemeter. It always makes me laugh when you see somone say - I got an anonymous comment and I know its someone on my FL cause who else reads this - EVERYBODY can read this!!!
Yeah, it's pretty funny that people wouldn't realize that. What was surprising to me was how many people jump in right after you post--I think they are monitoring the list that LJ posts of posts in the last few minutes.
The cool thing about this tool is it will track people by LJ username too, much of the time--so you can start to see who is really reading (but maybe not commenting), and who doesn't. It also shows you which posts they are reading (because you can assign names to each post).
If you want to know who reads you you have to at least post the "bug" in your posts (it's invisible). I haven't bothered with the icons yet--I just copy the code in every time I post. And if you make part of your post with an LJ-cut, then you'll force people to click on the post if they are really reading you (as opposed to just skimming their friends pages), so you'll get more of a true sense of who's reading.
It would show you as reading through your friends page (or through your custom friends group). However, when someone does that you don't really know if they are reading your post, or just skipping over it. LJ-Toys codes this as an F event (friends list, or CF, for Custom Friends List)
If you use a lj-cut, someone can't read your post without clicking on it, so you know that someone who is reading through their friends list (F event only) didn't read your post. When they do click on your post (to see behind the cut, or to comment), then LJ-Toys codes it as a P (post) event.
