About that rejection

One of the main reasons I paid for a "Pro" account at flickr was the self-indulgent ability to look at my referrers.

The, "background radiation" for my account seems to be about 45 views a day (on days with photo posts here, or on which I do a careful amount of posting to groups it'll pop up to about 150. I had an anomalous 568 once).

So the rejection letter from the group in my last post said, "we've reviewed your photostream".

Right. If we assume that "we" means two people, and I have 348 pictures. They range from the so-so to the pretty damned good (if I do say so myself), to the oddballs which get really steady Google hits.

I ought to see a bump in traffic.

So, yesterday was 69 photos looked at (with 110 clicks to a page, be it photo, set, or stream). Tuesday I got 99 total hits (and about 60 discreet photos, detailed breakouts are gone after 24 hours).

Most of that, I can credit to work on the show I'm trying to build, and I got a higher than usual slew of google hits (and not to the usual suspect).

In other words, assertion that, "we looked at your photostream,"... was so much hot air, because the level of looking two people should have done to make that claim... more than a bump of 15-20 extra views.

Ok, enough of the ridiculously self-referential posts of "how great am I."
