Like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, LinkedIn is a social network. But unlike those other sites, it is geared towards professional use and career development. LinkedIn allows members to create a profile with information about their education, work history, and other relevant details. Members can then connect with other users on the site, either by searching for them or sending a message.
When someone views your LinkedIn profile, you get a notification. However, you don’t always know who is viewing it. This is because the site does not reveal who is looking at your profile unless you have a premium account.
A free account only shows you the names of people who have viewed your profile within the last 90 days. However, the exact number of people who have viewed your profile can vary depending on your privacy settings. You can see more detailed profile views data by going to your Me page and clicking “Analytics & Tools” under the left navigation menu. Then select “Profile Viewers” from the list of LinkedIn insights.
You can also filter viewer data by time range or demographics to narrow down your results. For example, you can choose to see only the last 30 days of profile views, or you can choose to filter by job title or industry. Alternatively, you can choose to filter by “Interesting Views” which shows you viewers that LinkedIn thinks are particularly interesting. You can then click on the profile of a person who has been highlighted to see more details about them.
