Another way to track visitors to your Zenfolio page is with Stat Counter. This is a free tool that allows you to collect aggregate information about visitors to your Zenfolio pages, such as the number of unique visitors over time, their location, length of visits, and much more. Also please note - through StatCounter individual photo views are not tracked.
