Blogger does not have an inbuilt visitor tracking software. Hence bloggers are forced to install some other like Statcounter or Google Analytics.
You can prevent your visits being tracked by Statcounter by checking that option during the configuring code process before pasting it in your template. For Google Analytics the process is slightly more complicated..........DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS
An IP address is a set of four numbers assigned to a computer by an Internet service provider (ISP) to be its permanent address on the Internet during the period of connection. To see your IP address right click your connection icon in the system tray at bottom right on your computer screen and choose Properties. If this set of four numbers that change every time you connect then you have a dynamic IP address which is a temporary one for the duration of that connection. If they remain the same it is a static IP address.
If your ISP is assigning a dynamic IP address to your computer when it connects to the Internet use the following method :STEP 1 : MODIFY TEMPLATE
Login at Blogger.com and click on Layout link on Dashboard. Then click on Edit Html subtab of Template tab. In the template box scroll down to this code :
