Flickr Stats

[AndCity]

I remember someone posting on here how addictive Flickr Stats are and I would like to confirm that!

I have recently upgraded to Pro and couldn't believe how many views some of my pictures received within an hour of uploading them! Most were not from Flickr searches so I am guessing they must have been just random search engine enquiries. (21 views in an hour just of a beach shot from my holiday!)

I'm loving it!

haha, yeah they can be pretty bad. My ISP was sponsoring Yahoo! (I believe they owned Flickr), and they gave me a free Pro account, but they changed the service so I only have the basic one now. Since the switch was made, my visits to Flickr have dropped incredibly (I use to check almost every hour how my stats were doing, now I only make bi-weekly visits). Great little tool to create a popularity contest

I still get at at least 30 daily views on one of my images that was mentioned on smashingmagazine.com this has been going on for over a year. It is addicting, if I spent more time tagging my images I know I could get more views.

If your flickr stats are listed as "Unknow Referer" they are more than likely from Web crawlers, flickr tries to filter these from the stats but it seems they are fighting a loosing battle.

Yeah its weird when I get a jump in views one day, and sometimes all it can tell me is "unknown referrer".... hmmm
