Here's a good example of someone using one of my photos for their own uses on the web. Deep Space NYC is about dub music (looks cool) and has a forum--they're discussing bridges(?). Someone used my Verazzano bridge picture in their posting. Luckily it's one I put my web address on. I honestly don't care if someone uses my photos for something like this. But how this effects my stats is interesting, because of course people don't copy the image to their server, they copy its current web address (on my server) and put it in their posting. So when someone sees this post, it counts as a session and a hit on my stats. It doesn't count as a page view. For a page view you have to actually view a page on my site. That's why I use page view stats to gauge the traffic I'm getting. I wonder sometimes why my sessions are higher than page views--this is a perfect example why it happens.
Oh and just for fun--my page views for yesterday were 279. There were 64 page views on my main blog page. Things have greatly settled down since I eliminated the xml feeds. Most of the extra traffic I was getting was from bots. It's so weird. Sometimes the internet mildly freaks me out--the way all this stuff works. How I'm posting this for view to most of the world and then how other computers search through everything on the web. Bots are almost like little alien computer creatures.
