Upcoming Reporting Changes

By Chris Cagle · February 24, 2013

We're improving how we count web views, and adding a new statistics report for Business accounts.

Counting web views more accurately

We're making a small but important change to how we count web views for every vCard. We now ignore views that come from your control panel (vcardhosting.com/cp/...), because if someone opens your vCard from a link in your control panel, it's almost certainly you, and that shouldn't count as a real view. We also ignore views from obvious bots, such as Googlebot.

Visitor details reporting

From February 24th we're recording more detail about the visitors who view and use your vCard: where they came from, and what browser and device they used. We're building the reports now, and they should be ready in early March 2013.

These details matter if you want to know how and when people use your contact information. We'll also offer an export, so you can build your own reports.

The reports will be for Business accounts, but we're recording the details for everyone, so if you're on a Personal account and want them, you'll need to upgrade.

Update, 2026: today's detailed report shows referring sites and devices. We no longer keep visitors' IP addresses.
