Museum Insel Hombroich

Today I finally uploaded the last picture from my first ipernity/flickr meeting with the Cologne meeting group at the 'Museum Insel Hombroich'. It was a wonderful day and I hope you will like some of the pictures I took there.

I think, now I should start with the pictures from my first international ipernity meeting two weeks ago in Berlin... :)

Nottiestyle added some wonderful links to the Japan group. Please go and have a look:

To have pictures from our international meeting in Berlin on ipernity's front page or in the 'what's hot' site, one can expect, but to have one flickrs explore page, is something different. Especially not just one picture, accidentally taken on that day, no, it's a picture of Lea, one of ipernity's team members...

I'm asking this, cause I do not understand it at all. Compared to my flickr account I get about 10% visitors to my photo stream on ipernity, so I would expect that this roughly holds also for the views on single pictures (as it does for comments or faves). And in the first view days it really does. I got some visits from my contacts and some anonymous visitors. Than the number of daily views drops down. Okay, that's reasonable and I can observe the same on flickr.

But while the number of daily views drops down to something  between  0 and 5  on flickr, I still god dozens of anonymous views on my pictures every day. There are pictures in my stream with almost no comments but 1000 views after little more than one month! On average it's something like 20-30 views per day and picture.

I can't believe that this is real traffic, cause where should that people come from? Of course not from inside ipernity, cause in that case the quota of non-anonymous visitors should be higher (but that's almost zero). And I don't think that they come from search engines like google, cause ipernite's page rank is much lower than flickr's and even on flickr one get  only something like 30% visitors via search engines.

The only thing I can imagine are search robots or just an error in the counters... Anyway it would be nice to have like on flickr a statistic function to see in more detail how people are coming to your stream.
