Are the rest of you noticing that the number of times your photos are viewed have gone down? For me I feel like my photos have improved since the 1-1-11 when I started. However the number of views have gone done.
I am not obsessed with numbers, I am just curious if other people have noticed this as well.
Also, there are people that I follow who used to show up on my home page all of the time, and now I have to go look for their posts...

I have noticed that as well Anne. As a matter of fact, I've seen it when I have 3 comments and it says I've only gotten 2 views, so I know something is off - noticed that some time ago.

And just recently noticed having to "search out" friends' photos too - so don't think it's just you . . .

Sometimes people comment from the thumbnails, and it doesn't give you a page view. Someone else posted a discussion about that. I did that when I was short on time, but now I right click and open pictures in a new link, five at a time, and it makes my posting go much more smoothly, and everyone gets my view counted.

Me too. Maybe it's just a time of year when everyone has a lot going on. It's a pain going from the thumbnails to the whole photo, but I try to do that because I feel like I just can't do the photo justice with the thumbnail, but probably some people in the interest of time have to limit it to looking at the thumbnail.

I don't have many followers either now. I just figured my photo's are not good enough. There are so many real professionals on this site, I don't blame them lol.

For me, I have been sooooo busy that I have hardly had time to visit peoples pages.. with the summer coming to an end and winter on its back (in the Northern Hem) I think you will find people will be back indoors and on their pc's a lot more.
I have lost viewers , but that is because I have not been so active, I have never thought it was because my photos arent good enough. mainly because I am adding them for me, not other people.. and so never even worry if people think they are good or not. :)

maybe its got something to do with roatating off the 'new faces' page, not as many random people seeing your work?

Mine are down in direct proportion to how much I've been neglecting everyone else on this site.

Also, I don't think people are as impressed with my last-minute iPhone shots as they are with my client portraits. The first part of all this is that I am so busy and have so little time, and the second part is because I'm too lazy to sort through photos for one to post on the same day as I take them. Fail. :(

Same here but I guess my movie pics were more popular than the ones about my son LOL
