Congrats on nearing the million hits Mike, it's a testament to the quality of your work.

Geez I hope I'm the lucky 1 million, I reckon that picture will definitely keep the Roos' out of my vege garden.

Cheers

Hehe... good luck nailing that one on 1 million and get the A0 'heavenly cluster' print out. It's like shooting a fly in between the eyes at 100ft Actual page views and visits (real people) are a small subset of hits. Hits can be bots, anything including links from other websites or forum posts. If you read a post made by Mike with a link to a picture on his pbase account he gets a hit anyway whithout you even looking at the file or reading the post. So you'll probably see the number past the 1 mil mark but very unlikely to nail it down on the dot. I'd like to see that though. Anything's possible. Winning lotto is too.

Look out Mike - I'm catching up, I recently past the 100,000 mark!

And don't forget, Pbase counts the number of times you've looked at or edited your own images ... so I guess that means we're about even

Cheers, Marcus

Overall I'm currently averaging 700 to 800 or so image views a day sooo even I ain't looking that much . I've seen normal (large) increases in image hits after not looking at anything myself for several days too.
