Hi .....l don't know how this happening but l have noticed it's been happening for a while now......Random poems getting "massive" amounts of views compared to all others posted around it. This morning my poem had 259 views while all else around are single or lower doubled numbers? I have seen views in the mid 300's. There is no way l genuinely recieved that many views in that short amount of time "or ever" Haha! I don't understand how it is happening? Any ideas?? 
Cheers.....Deb M x

I assumed it was the amount of soupers who are scrolling through to skim the"newpoems" section. It counts how many are scrolling even though they may not be reading. That amount will vary depending on the time of day you post your poem I think. But who knows?

It has happened to me a couple of times, first time I was so excited that people were reading my poems but then realised it was bizarre as the count was rocketing everytime I refreshed the page. I agree with Dilly, a glitch. Although a large number of views makes people think your poem is popular and must be good so they are more inclined to read it so it then becomes self feeding and snowballs further. Probably a mix of glitch and genuine intrigue. I wondered if certain keywords for submission affected it. I can never find appropriate keywords anyway as my poems never seem to fit them properly but that's a different topic.

I think it's a tripling effect for things posted at certain times. If I post once a day it seems to happen to one or two but not those around. I'm confident it's a glitch. This is hardly the most sophisticated of programming. It's been happening for ages and never seems connected to title or effect the surrounding poems.

I was thinking perhaps it was an individual or individuals as there are some poets that post lots of poems and every poem has 200+ views always… mostly without a comment! Who knows Dilly but its strange and l felt uncomfortable with having so many views compared to other poems around me….Thanks….Debx

See soupmail for response. My comments changed by the time i got to the end. Popular game that is played by who I don’t know but it’s called missing comments. You go back at night to reread your comments and they’re gone or you write to someone and they’re gone. PS clains, no knowledge. Pangiexx

Deb, good blog and question ! I have noticed that also and wondered how it is happening and more importantly why. I have never, ever received that many views on any poem in all the years I have been on PS, so what the heck ? Constance
