is their a way to track who has been to a page on a site from an outside source dont say o thats illegal no its not the internet is an open resource you can do it completly legally but i dont know how
I can use an assignment I had a good number of years back now where I was asked to trace someone who was leaving malicious messages on a message board.
Leaving out the technique I used I can safely say that that after about an hour or so I was able totrace the person to his company (where he was using the work computer to leave malicious messages). The web site in question was logging all individuals who were posting messages on the forums viatheir IP addresses. I was able to use this to backtrack all the way to the company.
Generally when dealing with a home computer owner you can trace it to the ISP of the user and report them to the ISP who investigate further and, if need be, determine any kind of fine, banning or warnings. In my case since it was a specific company (a toy companies head office to be exact) I was able to contact the human resources department directly and speak to the manager. After convincing the manager I had traced it to their company (with proof since they were unwilling to accept this since they connect via a proxy server it's not possible for them to be traced) I can safely say the person in question was harshly disciplined.

There is no way to track which users view your myspace profile etc.
