Citation needed. There's no reference anywhere on LinkedIn's site to selling data sets at all. The only thing they sell are subscriptions to their site and there's nothing anywhere that indicates any of those include any kind of this data.

If I read this right, Visistat itself says that they aggregate visit data provided by a list of websites that include LinkedIn:

Looking at their live demo it looks like you just sign-in with the linkedin auth and they use the regular LinkedIn API to enrich people information, so it's not anything the average user can't access via Linkedin anyway.

If this is true, this whole thread is full of misinformation.
