Title: Image Views prior to being searchable?
Post by: Graffoto on March 07, 2008, 21:28

Something I find odd and am not able to comprehend on my own, so I am asking for insight from others here.

Yesterday evening I received a notice that my last batch of images had been approved and would be searchable in 24 hours or less.
So, naturally I checked on them to see which ones they were. One image, the one below had already had over 500 views?

By this morning the number was over 600 yet I was unable to find the image doing a search under its file number.
This afternoon I checked again. the image is now searchable and the number of views is 707. (no sales though  :'()

So my question remains, how is it possible for an image to get so many views without even being available in the search engine?
Anyone?

Yikes! How did you find that? ??? I never even thought to look there!
Well, i guess that explains the weird numbers... I'll go crawl back in my hole now until I get over my embarrassment  :-[

I thought editors picks get more attention then just views :( Still it's a great pic, at least for me :D
