I know a lot of PHers use Flickr and I've been getting into a lot more in recent months. I've been backing up photos and noticing my view count flying up.

I have a total of 44000 views and I've been on Flickr since January 2010. I was at less than 20k views at the start of the year so nice to see my stuff getting some attention.

So how many views do you guys have? I noticed a PHer I follow had just hit 100k views recently so I'm sure my rather paltry amount will be exceeded by most on here!

Also I know Flickr can be weird sometimes, but this is my top viewed photo with 454 views!

I've had 198,897 views on mine, although I don't use flickr to its full potential of getting views, more just a way of storing images...

I'm sure there are people on here with many many more views than me!

I agree. Definitely use it more for storage than anything else.

On the 1st of March I broke the 1 million views (total) marker, still amazed to have that many views (typically between 1000-2000 views a day, except when I upload pics of old racing coverage or gridgirls, then things go nuts biggrin)

1 Million Views Screenshot by www.bazpics.com, on Flickr

ETA: Of the top 20 viewed photos on my account, 17 of them are car photoshoots for magazines in the past, 2 are from the Miss USC contest at Santa Pod back in 2006 and the last one is of one of Steve's favourite spots, the Barra Hotel biggrin

I don't use the site, but am very happy to say that my website is half a million places higher in 'the most viewed website on the plannet' list than Tony Blair's... and two and a quarter million higher than David Cameron's hehe

My highest viewed is a bad picture of a MK2 Golf, some French VW Forum linked to it a few months ago and it went nuts in 2 days.

Unless I'm missing something you can only view 'views' with a pro account?

If so I am going to guess at 17 smile

I might be missing the point here but did you seriously put your name address and car registration number out there on the internet for all to read?

Don't live there now, don't own the car and the only thing that stays the same is my name.
I moved out and sold the car a couple of days after the photo.

I was quite happy with that until I saw Toastgirl's count is 3 times higher.

Then again she does look much better in wellies than I do.

Not many usually, however the past week has seen some specific searches on my username (so, someone I don't have, or doesn't have me, in a contact list), then spends quite a while looking through 450-odd photos.

So I changed my username here because it feels like I'm being stalked smile

30,959, must try harder.

Slightly off topic but is there anyway of seeing who has linked your photos as I keep getting the odd unknown when looking at viewing stats.

No, the only way to tell is from the "HTTP_REFERER" HTTP header, which is optional and supplied by the useragent (browser, script, etc). It can be empty, it can contain anything you like. It shouldn't be relied upon but it's better than nothing.
