I noticed a few days ago that one of my photos has a fairly large view count compared to the rest of the photos in the gallery. Most just have 20-30 but the one has 350. (http://navyn.smugmug.com/gallery/6723963_QoMQd#429358979_43F26)

What might have caused this?

Haha, well that's always a good thing. But could it be that it's linked or seen somewhere else or something like that? Just thought the numbers were odd compared to the overall average, and in such a short time.

Could it be the first image to display on a page in SmugMug view? In my galleries I always saw a high count for every, say, twentieth photo because twenty photos to a page corresponded to some standard screen resolution and the first photo displayed large (and got a hit) every time that gallery page got loaded. Of course, if you're only seeing a single photo with disproportionate numbers that wouldn't really jive...

Not sure if that's the case as it's the 2nd last photo in the gallery. It has large hits in all sizes too. Oh well, as long as people are enjoying it!

Someone has posted it into a forum or similar somewhere and every time the thread is read you get a hit. Sometimes I get thousands that way.
