I keep getting comments on my profile with a link the read like this:
"Hey, I can see who looks at my profile!
Now you can see everyone who looks at your MySpace page!
Click here to start tracking your profile visitors! "

No, don't believe any of that. They're just weird spam mechanisms.
NO!! don't do it......I did that once and someone hacked my myspace and kept changing stuff....
No people can not track who visits your profile. I sure you know that it only counts the # of visits your site gets. Sometimes I think ppl use those spams on other peoples' profiless because they don't know what to say. I usually see those spams on profiles that have a lot of friends, like celebs. It might be their way to get attention. So sad.
However, if you send someone a message or an add request, it usually goes to the email, if it is set up, to inform that they have a message. Other than that, Nope!
There is a way, but it's not automated, nor is it too easy.
One way is to use CQ Counter (http://cqcounter.com/), which is designed to be a hit counter for websites. Basically, it gives you some code to put on your page, and a little picture appears that shows how many times your page has been viewed.
However, on the CQ Counter site, you can view the last 20 IP addresses that downloaded the little counter picture, meaning the last 20 IP addresses that looked at your page. If you visit the CQ Counter site regularly, you can keep a sort of log of IP addresses that visit your page, when they do, and how often.
An IP address, by the way, is the address that computers broadcast when they go on the internet. Each computer broadcasts its own unique address (usually- we'll get to that in a minute). The easy part is finding the IPs of people who visit your site, but the hard part is connecting those IPs with names.
Most people have IP addresses that are always the same, meaning whenever they view your site you'll see the same number. In this case, it's pretty easy to guess who has what IP- for example, if you get a new comment from someone at 11:02 AM, and you go to the CQ Counter site and see that an IP visited your site at 10:59 AM and that was the last visit for 20 minutes, you can pretty safely assume the IP was of the person who posted. In this way, once you can connect an IP with a name, whenever you see that IP on the CQ Counter last 20 view, you know they've visited recently.
If you're trying to track someone who looks at your profile but never posts anything, it's more difficult. You can do it, however, if you know roughly where that person lives, and if they don't live near most of the people that visit your site.
One way to try to see who it is is to run an IP you suspect to be a certain person through a location tracer, a program that points out a geographical position an IP broadcasts from. This is definitely not an exact science, though, and different tracers often contradict each other about where the IP is coming from. Often times it'll just tell you the nearest large city to the IP, since internet companies usually route their connections through large cities.
Here are some good tracer sites. Bear in mind many of them have limits on how many times you can trace IPs per week or per day:

As for which one is the most accurate, it's anyone's guess. I find that sometimes each one is more accurate than others.
Finally, sometimes, you'll match an IP to a name and find that the next time they post a comment, it's from a different IP! This is called a proxy.
A proxy is something used by a few internet companies, most notably AOL, that causes your IP to change periodically, usually every time you go on and off the internet. In this case, a person's IP is not always the same, in fact, it's almost always different.
Usually, though, it's similar. For example, one of my friends on a proxy always has an IP that starts with 624.67... or 624.68...
Whenever I see an IP like that, or close to that, it's probably her.
Whew. In conclusion, I guarantee you're not going to find an easier way to find IP addresses off the internet than that without extreme coding knowledge. And I guarantee all those other guys are scams. And, I DEFINITELY guarantee that there's NO way to automatically find names of people who go to sites. It simply cannot possibly be done.
