Title: Views
Post by: Kngkyle on February 18, 2007, 09:28

Am I the only one that noticed awkward patterns in the amount of views for your submissions?
Some days every photo will get like five views, but others they won't get any. Yesterday for example, I had 3 photos above 10 views (just started there about a week ago), today I have 25.
It just seems fishy. Almost as if they are giving you views to think their site is active. (I have only had 1 sale out of about 600 views total)

Views are fun to track, but not typically very meaningful.  A lot of the time, views are the result of bots trolling the net.  I wouldn't put much faith in them.
