My Flickr pages got to over 10k views today. Kind of a landmark for me. I know some images probably have that many views alone, but in under 12 months I'm quite chuffed.

Thanks for looking

Whats your current views count if you have a Flickr account?

BananaTiger · 26-04-2007, 3:38 PM

Well done Steve!

So far 7,346 views for me. I've had my account for over a year so not on the same dizzy heights are you are doing.

ksten · 26-04-2007, 3:41 PM

Erm ... 66!

Liquid101 · 26-04-2007, 3:49 PM

Nice one steve - 10000 happy viewers.

I have 1792 views since the 2nd March. Don't think i'll keep that up, most of the views probably come from people on here, and people from my workplace.

I don't get many comments, probably because I don't submit to many groups. However, I do find that the comments I get are from random people. I assume they come from the 'everybodies pictures' section, because they are posted within seconds of them being uploaded.

Anyway, 10k is a milestone, and one which I would like to achieve

How do you check?

Well done

I am currently on 3,026 views

I am sorry to spoil your day, your view counter can be boosted by simply logging out and going to your site or page. Now all you got to do is press F5 10,000 times and that will do it for you.

I think you'll find that it doesn't include your own views.

I thought that was the case too.

@ horribleman - it's at the top of your photopage, next to your name

Liquid101 · 26-04-2007, 4:06 PM

Holy Moses!

I tested the theory of refreshing to see the effect on page hits, and it didn;t seem to make any difference. I got a few hits, which I assume are people clicking on my link from my recent posts here.

Anyway, I refreshed 20 times.

Just went back to make sure there were not 20 extra views... there wasn't, I now have 1933 views. Thats about 140 more than I had 15 minutes ago.

Explain that.

30 seconds later I have 1956. It could be everybody in my workplace checking out photos of the golf challenge I had with the IT dept yesterday though

(I won with 35 points

)

You sign out! that meens you don't have your own views. Try it out on a random image with low views, check the number of views before you sign out. Now press F5 a few times say 5 - 10 so you will see a change. Now sign back in and there you go an cheap and false increase on your views.

How sad would you have to be to sign out, hit refresh to boost thew views you have, especially considering that only you can see the total

that may have been me!

just to prove my point. Sorry! on the other hand I have noticed that a refresh and a F5 refresh can have different figures. In a way its right your pages are getting viewed its just false on how someone is doing it.

Maybe I should get my coat.

Strong words Mr Green.

It was actually a very silly thing to do. The annual work golf comp is coming up in June, and if the handicap secretary gets wind of it, I'm in big trouble. It was actually a very good score considering it was the first 18 i've played in 6 months and it was on a very windy links course.

Still, a very nice gross birdy on the tricky 6th hole netted 4 points

Radiohead · 26-04-2007, 4:28 PM

That's good going - I'm on a paltry 590 photos / 4,286 views since June last year.

Mind you, we've all got some way to go to beat rebekka who's got over 3 million (!!!!).

He can't cut an inder par round unless he's being particularly nasty (also unless he only takes 16 holes in consideration

)

I have not had a round in ages, too busy taking silly photographs!

Oh, and back on topic........3 million

wabbitt · 26-04-2007, 4:49 PM

It's those Laydeees

Nice one!

hongkonguk · 26-04-2007, 5:03 PM

5,180. That is since October since before then I had forgotten my login details! Must upgrade to a pro account soon. Get some of my older photos back to see if/by how much I have improved.

ab1385 · 26-04-2007, 5:28 PM

I win! A total of 60 views!

I'm sure it'll pick up when it's been around a while though, I've only been on for about 2 weeks, and I've not really done the group thing that much yet.

Gordon @ Convergent AV · 26-04-2007, 5:36 PM

On Pbase I have 28300 ish from 309 images. Not sure how it works it all out....but thanks Steve for making me go find out anyway! It's nice to know other folk are looking isn't it.

Holowlegs · 26-04-2007, 5:36 PM

It doesn't hurt that she's a bobby dazzler, and makes photographs of herself in her skimpies on cold days.

Hmm.... that gives me an idea.

Chunder · 26-04-2007, 6:31 PM

I'm up to 42,013 over 1,438 photos since July 2005... still a ways to go, I suppose

I've kind of eaced back on submitting to groups recently - there's just too many groups that post stupid animated icons, or where every comment is a fave, or have mandatory commenting (which reduces the value and content of the comment)... or perhaps I've just been on Flickr for too long?
