If you have been around here for awhile, you know that I love stats (despite the fact that a big portion of my real-life job is stat-oriented)...
A little while back, I decided to create a Flickr set of my most popular pictures, or more specifically, those viewed most often. Fortunately Flickr introduced a new stat feature (not sure how long ago), so it was pretty easy to pull 'em together. I decided 300+ views was a good inclusion number for this "exclusive" group as (at this very moment) it is only 18 of 946 of my Flickr photos.
Here they are... the most viewed pic is the one on the upper left hand corner... and proceeding from the left to right and down...
It is pretty interesting to see what has proven to be popular... while 18 pix, only 4 subjects: MINI Cooper (6 pix), Sopranos-related (5 pix), Olympics (5 pix), pets (2 pix).
It was particularly nice to see my Olympics pix rocket up the rankings so quickly... pretty much in the first two weeks they were uploaded... while other photos in this "club" have taken years to reach that number of hits. Still I think it is a tad odd that 4 of the 5 Olympic pix are judo-related... so I must have filled a serious need/demand.
And I guess our decision to try and find different Sopranos landmarks that last time we were in NJ was a pretty good idea... again, there seems to be a demand... particularly of the Sopranos house, with both pix of it making the Top 5.
Other trivia:
The first 3 pix have over 1,000 views.
The 2nd most viewed pic was one I personally did not take! I didn't want to lose/misplace Rocky's baby pictures... so figured the best way to do that was to upload it to Flickr. That picture (with his sister in the back) was one of from the classified ad that pretty much cemented the deal that we wanted one of them! The other pet pic of Rocky and feline Lola makes me wonder what the heck happened between the two... as these days they would never get that close to each other (well, Lola's choice - and I don't blame her).
If you are interested in checking out these popular pix, here's a link: 300+ Views Club.
Also kind of interesting, of those 946 photos... according to the stat page, there is 1 picture that has never been viewed (stats do not include views "by me")... I would share which one it is, but I don't want to ruin the "no hitter." And while there are certainly pix, I don't consider to be anything special ... I do think this one is pretty good.
