Can you see who views your linkedin if they don t have an account

To prevent someone from being notified that you viewed their profile on LinkedIn, open Settings and Privacy, then go to Visibility > Profile Viewing Options. Set profile viewing to "Private Mode" to remain anonymous when you view someone's profile.

LinkedIn often tells people when you view their profiles and shows them your name. That person may even get an email or alert saying you viewed their profile. Here’s how to browse privately without LinkedIn sharing this information.

It may seem silly to prefer anonymity on a social network, but other social networks don’t work this way. Facebook and Twitter don’t send someone a notification whenever you view their profile.

To find this option, head to the LinkedIn website, click your profile icon on the top bar, and select “Settings & Privacy.”

Click “Visibility” on the left-hand side, then click “Profile viewing options.”

Select how you want to appear. You can select “Private Mode” for pure private browsing or select your private profile characteristics, which may appear as just “Someone on LinkedIn” or something more specific.

People will still see that someone viewed their profile after you view their profile — but they’ll see only that an anonymous person viewed it.

As LinkedIn warns you on this settings page, there’s just one downside: When you become anonymous to other people, they become anonymous to you. LinkedIn will hide the names of people who view your profile from you after you enable this anonymity option.

Hi,
I'm starting a new job ... and thought why not get to know about the people i'll be working with... so i went on LinkedIn... technology really isn't my forte...
Now i'm aware that it's slightly stalkerish but i was just curious but now i'm slightly paranoid...
I don't have an account but I was logged into FB and other accounts at the time, can they tell who viewed their profile?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated! xx

No, if you don't have a LinkedIn account they will not know who viewed their profile.

Ah thanks, that's reassuring.. just one more question.. also if you accidentally press the connect button and it links to their fb page?
(sorry i must appear so ignorant) x

I doubt it'd link to their facebook page.

On the top right corner of the page there's the option to message or add to network. All it does is just sends that person a request to accept your invitation. From that it's kind of like a Business centered Facebook where users can post etc..

So to clarify, if you accidentally press to send a request or contact but don't have an account and don't press anything further they won't be able to see?
Thanks xx

Yup, they won't know it's you.

They will know someone viewed it, possibly with a geographical location, but won't know it's you.

They won't know it's you, nor will they know if you viewed their Facebook Pages or Profiles.

If I'm doing any of these kinds of things I either run them in Chrome Incognito windows so I'm not logged into anything, or I use fake accounts; sometimes from bugmenot.com, but not always.

There's nothing unusual at looking up the staff of the company you're going to be working for on LinkedIn.

This. The only unusual thing is being caught, which thanks to Google's Incognito, is easy to avoid.

To be honest not sure how linkedin gonna fit in with the student markets really, just not that helpful. BTW I found out this new YouJoin.com thingy, looks quite interesting comparing to LinkedIn. But not sure when they started tho.

Can people see if you view their LinkedIn without an account?

No you can't see who is viewing your profile if they viewed it with the Anonymous option on and that applies even if you have a paid LinkedIn account membership.

How can I see who looked at my LinkedIn profile with a free account?

How to See Who Has Viewed Your LinkedIn Profile.
Log into LinkedIn. ... .
Click the Me icon with your photo at the top of your LinkedIn homepage > Click View profile > Choose Who Viewed Your Profile on Your Dashboard..
