I only have 1200 followers; but I've got 1,800,000 views. How does that happen? How many of this 1,800,000 views are Real & Unique users? Thanks
Are your 1200 followers really active? Do they share what you post to their readers, etc? This could be the reason for all of the views. However, when I see this on accounts I usually assume they have purchased fake views or something. If you have not done that then you have proved my theory wrong.
I have over three million alleged visits, and I only have 315 followers. Something must be wrong here.
Your view that show up on your profile are a combination of people coming to your profile and clicking on your posts. If you had a post that made it to What is hot or you are part of a lot of shared circles that is very easy to have so many views. I hope this helped explain it
Nobody knows for sure how/where Google dreams up the "views" number and most people agree that it is totally meaningless. It seems that if you have a +1 button on your website/blog, it could be counting those views as well.
