I alwas was under the impression that part of Auror training tracing 
wizards that sisapperate.

Tonks tells Harry in OotP  ( the Advance Party ) that she is a real 
clutch and nearly failed Steath and Tracking, although it isn'r 
explained or mentioned again it seems to be a different trick from 
Tracing,
which only concentrate at magic activity in the near presence of a 
minor.

When you are following a suspect who trives in a society where 
Apparation is as common used a taking the Tube among Muggles, one 
would loose that suspect almost immediately, when there isn't some 
method develooped to follow him or her through Apparation. 

Death Eaters not Apparating direct into nr. 4 Privet Drive is likely 
prohibited by the blood pretection that is still active.
