I have noticed the thread with "your most viewed pic on Flickr"

How do you get people to look at your Flickr pics???
I have recently started to use it and have a link in my signature but I do not think anyone has looked at any of the pics on there, is there a way of getting people to look at your page??

Also can you link Flickr onto your Facebook page I have had a look this evening but cannot see anything on how too

I've seen a similar question asked before on here. Can't find the link though (on my phone).

Adding relevant tags to an image helps and so does adding the image to relevant groups. Both will increase you view count but don't get too obsessed with it like I did.

Add tags, contacts and add the photos to groups.

Hi Spike,

You can see where your views are coming from.

When I put pictures on TP you can see how many people click on them and go onto your Flickr.

The majority of my views stem from Flickr itself, other users and groups.

Don't underestimate posting in Flickr groups appropriate to the image subject. It's a great way of getting your stuff out there. Also tag it well too.

You'll also see some coming in from search engines such as google and bing.

edit-

Quick example here Spike. Click stats then referrers.

and yes you can share to facebook, works quite well as it links to it so you can still see the views and referrers.

Participating in group discussions help too. Most of them are about self whoring for comments and favourites, which I just do when I feel sad or need a confidence boost. But ones such as post your favourite photo from the photo stream above your post normally result in a good handful of views.
