The simple answer is that you can't...
There are quite a few applications that claim they can tell you who views your profile most / who's looking at your profile etc .. but they work based on you're friends' activity with your profile (who comments, likes, writes on your wall most.)
Some are very random and therefore inaccurate. Facebook protects people's privacy - it would not allow you to see who's viewed your profile.
This is the statement in which Facebook address this issue on its Help Center page:
“Is there any way to see who has been viewing my profile? Can people see that I looked at theirs?Facebook does not allow users to track profile views or see statistics on how often a particular piece of content has been viewed and by whom. Third party developers, however, may offer applications that provide some of this functionality. Please keep a few things in mind when using these, however:
- Applications cannot track profile views for users who simply visit another person's profile. Facebook has made this technically impossible
- In order to be tracked by an application, you must explicitly agree to allow the application to access your information.
- Adding an application that provides this functionality is purely optional. If you do not want to participate, please do not add the application to your account.
”
On one hand this means that you can’t know who is looking at your profile, but on the other one, it also means that you can snoop without worrying about being discovered.
Facebook have said the stalker apps will not work and that we shouldn’t pay any attention to any apps that say they do work.
“Don’t believe any applications that claim they can show you who’s viewing your profile or photo, they can’t said Facebook before adding “we’re aggressively disabling those that claim they can”.
