I regularly look at my Flickr stats - maybe three or four times a day. I generally get around four hundred hits, sometimes as low a two hundred, occasionally a couple of thousand, if I've been taking pictures at a wedding or something. I think the most hits I've ever had was about 3,000.
Until today. Today, so far, I've had 7,500 hits. I have absolutely no idea why, not where they've come from, aside that they're nearly all via Flickr.
It's somewhat unsettling.
ETA. the top search on my flickr account today was for "interstellar", presumably on the back of the movie launch.
Which amuses me no end because they will have found images of Jerry Dammers' Spatial AKA Orchestra, which I had tagged with "interstellar space" (after Sun Ra's subject matter)!
ETAMy flickr hits now top 9,500 [c 3pm]. It is very strange - when it was at 6,000 this morning, I didn't expect it to carry on all day!

Date: 2014-11-07 06:46 pm (UTC)It's not a direct link. I can see the hits each photo gets and their source, and I can see the source of hits more generally, but not necessarily the connection between the two.
For instance, whilst I know the search for "interstellar" produced 27 hits, I don't know what images received those hits without going into each image. It might be one image getting all 27 or 9 getting 3 each, or ...
