I've noticed that one particular photo on my Flickr account has one repeated view - on an almost daily basis. Looking at the referring URL, it's a thread on STW...

It seems strange that a 6 month old thread is being looked at so regularly, so I was wondering if there was some other expanation?

A number of photos on flickr i've linked to here get very frequent views. Usually a bad picture of a berlingo with bikes in the back, and pictures of bikes. All on old threads. I suppose folk use the search function.

Aye - but it's the regularity of this one I don't get. Almost always one view a day for the last 6 months??

If you are paranoid druidh, remember that they may actually be out to get you.

It'll be exactly the same reason I get loads of hits on my website for people who can't spell 'samurai'.

Lots of people with access to computers can't spell.

Now do you understand why that thread gets so many hits?

So, folk looking for new sexual positions end up clicking on a photo of a Titanium bike?

It will be like that Tbus rack that we had popping up every day on analytics. Very odd. Probably embedded in someones forum profile somewhere or summink.

I am glad you asked this question, since this photo of me seems to be looked at daily and I was wondering if I had some kind of stalker!

I think I posted it on here some time ago. Anyone on here want to own up?
