Flickr stats and web picture linking question (involving STW)

I have a photo on flickr that has way more views than any others. Just today it’s already had 4 views. Flickr tells me that all of the views have come via the following thread: http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fitting-full-length-mudguards-with-disc-brakes

I can’t imagine why a 4 year old STW thread would still be generating so much interest – and why 4 folk would choose to click on my photo.

Is it possible that some sort of automated process is doing this?

Ah but…

Is it only first listed in Images because it’s so popular or is it so popular because it’s first listed in Images? 😆

Still, there’s obviously a lot of folk struggling to get mudguards to fit with disc brakes….

we have a rota for viewing the image to make you think you’re popular 😉

You guys………

Some of mine are linked through some various places I think, means they get a random boost in hits.

*head explodes*

I always wondered what happened to Druidh.

And it’s only today that I a) found that out and b) realised that Scotroutes is Scotroutes and not ‘Scroates’.

4 views can be the same person viewing 4 times if they are no a logged-in flickr user.
