How can there be many more slideshow views than page views?
I have a hub that has had 7 pageviews in the last day, but has had 282 slideshow views in the last day. I can see one or two people clicking on the pictures more than once, but not 7 people viewing the slideshow 282 times.
Yes, I posted the same question. One of my Hubs got at least 4 times as many slide show views as it did page views. I was wondering why, also. I know if you watch a slide show of one hub, there's suggestions for other slide shows. Or maybe people are finding them on Google images; that almost doesn't seem likely.
Yeah, that's interesting. I just went to check if I had such an anomaly for any of my hubs and noticed that the slideshow views are no longer listed at all! Perhaps they have removed this and what you saw was an unwanted side-effect during the changeover?
My guess would be that they are seeing your pictures through google images instead of clicking on the actual article itself.
Could be the pictures you posted are more attractive than the writing. I have one or two Hub-pages where the slide views outnumber the page views. They're usually travel features. I don't know how they manage it, though. I thought as soon as you clicked on the title you got the page up - you've got to be on the page to scroll down, or am I missing something?
That's what confused me, too: to get to the slide show, you have to view the page. But, as has been mentioned above, perhaps slideshows are accessible separately by search engines like Google images?

I just checked one of my hubs where I give people the option to click and view the FULL size picture and now it looks like we have this slideshow that gives you about a half size view of the picture, if that. I know for a fact that the image was bigger because it's a screenshot of my profile,...

Do total views = Page views + Slideshow views ? or do they only count as one?I have 2208 hits today but also 1222 slideshow views, so do I essentially have 3430 hits? or does it not work that way, are slideshow views infact already counted within the page views but simply to show how they have...

How come one of my hubs have 35 slide show views but the number of page views shows 25 only? Please clarify what it means.

How many page views does it take to hit $50?I know this varies, but I am curious if anyone may have an estimated idea if possible? Also, does more page views received in a shorter amount of time earn more than the same amount over a longer period of time? Example, would 1000 page views in 1 week...
