I'd like to know who looks at my website, but logging their IP isn't enough. I could create a password system, but this would discourage casual visitors.
Basically, my site has a very low contact-yield: out of the people who visit it, a good proportion probably find my stuff interesting, but very few initiate contact with me.
I could make a JavaScript on the first screen of the site that asks your name/website or a link to an online profile... and tell them that if they insist on not identifying themselves, their IP will be banned from visiting me.
Another idea would be to use
patrissimo's SOCS commenting system (used in his Seasteading book, as well as in his dad's "Future Imperfect") to encourage casual readers to leave comments on my writings, but
patrissimo never got back to me on this.
