Flickr / Facebook question

[Splog]

Hi all

Looking at my flickr stats I keep getting hits from facebook! .. Thing is I don't have a facebook account! when I click on the link from flickr it takes me to facebook! when I continue from there it just takes me back to my flickr :shrug:

I really don't understand what's happening

any ideas ?

Here is a link from flickr, if it helps!

I do have a facebook account and I just get the same as you.

I click the link, it takes me to a warning page then sends me to your flickr:

Thanks for trying ... It's a bit weird as I've had 100's of hits from facebook over the last few months .... Oh well! :shrug:

thats weird, maybe someone has pasted the url of one of your images on there wall

I suspect that someone has linked to one of your pictures in their FB status, so effectively you are clicking on the same link that they are- hence being redirected to your image via FB. It's going to be nigh on impossible to find out who copied the URL, but on the plus side they have directed people to your Flickr account, rather than try to nick the image from it and host it themselves.

It's extra traffic - enjoy the freebie promotion!

yup looks like someone put a URL link on their/someone elses wall for http://www.flickr.com/photos/steve999/4898647361/

it's impossible to find out who it is. i get so many links from facebook too, and i don't even have facebook myself!
