I wrote to the Pbase management on 12/14...Here's my comment: "I have always been skeptical of the view count you post for our images. I manage the posting of images for a friend who has a Pbase account. Over the
last three days I notice an the exact same trend of increasing views in both of our sites. The increase is is significant and its about the same for both of us. I've seen this before but haven't asked about it.
I think I can only conclude that the view counts may be related is some way to the visits we actually get, but in the big picture, are completely manipulated by you. How close am I to understanding your view counts...?"
I haven't received a response yet - and quite frankly, don't expect one considering the time that has passed. The page views on the two sites still have wild fluctuations occurring at the same time and in the same proportion. The page views are a scam. I have a flag counter on my site. It records far fewer visitors and probably more accurate. Today I had 2500 views reported from yesterday. My flag counter identified five visitors. My ego wants to believe 2500, but reality says five. I like Pbase and don't need to be lied to like the service. I hate being deceived and think there are some either some ethical issues with the Pbase management or there's just some bad management occurring.
