It seems to me that something strange is happening with the views received by some of the posts on virily. Don’t get me wrong. One of the posts with a large number of views in recent days is one of my posts. I thought it was because this post has a topic that is usually visible in search engines. You can see the other posts with a large number of views in the trading section. Even as I write this post, the number of views on my post and another post has increased significantly. Are these views real? Should we warn admins to check what’s going on? These are questions that seem justified to me.

Did you notice anything strange with the views on your posts?

Yes

No

I will be honest and say I have only had time to put on some posts and that is all…but I will see what is here now.
You raise an interesting question and one that deserves information.
1. NO ONE KNOWS for sure. I think the most important thing. These are views and that is the important thing.
2. are these users or bots? if they are bots, what are they collecting for (search engines)? If they are truly bots for data collection they touch once not 200 times.
3. I think the likelihood is that based not he overall views not he site, this is more of a blip than anything. However again, that is opinion. I don’t know.
If the admins will release the site logs we could tell very quickly what is touching posts. I know, that there are a number of people that read my posts that are not virily members. They send me mail about my posts.
So the easy button is no one knows. Likely is a percentage (probable 1/2 or less) are bots. The remainder is likely users but not users on the site.
It seems strange to me that from yesterday until today, my post (and not just mine) got over 500 views. I don’t know, but I tend to think that there are views generated at the same time in all the posts in the trending section. What intrigues me is that I don’t see a common topic in these posts, and I don’t understand how they were chosen?
it is views in a 48 hour period. So on this site, there are posts that are old that get a lot of traffic and posts that are new that get traffic.
The reality is this – it could be bots, but that isn’t completely likely. It could be views by real humans, but, that is also unknown.
We just don’t know, because the admins don’t tell us what is going on.
My views are not high. My latest posts have little views. I wrote one post about the origin of coronavirus when the pandemic was at its peak and it had a lot of views. But if you have a lot of views there is nothing bad about it. It is good for you
My views are variable. Sometimes there are more, sometimes less.
I’ve been kind of bust over th last couple of days , I have not noticed anything strange here. More views means better times for the site I guess.
They are beneficial for the site if they are real but not if they are generated automatically!
Wow! Congratulations! @Ileana Calotescu Your hard work in writing and preparing such high-viewed articles paid off. Good job! Thank you for sharing your good news to the Virily community. What an encouragement!
Thank you! I’m not sure I deserve these congratulations!
Of course, you do! @Ileana I’m sure there’ll be more articles you will be writing that people will find relevant, helpful and interesting. 🙂
I think I had over 100 views one time. The rest of the time they fluctuate somewhere between 20 to 30 and my payment has remained the same for almost the whole month I would have thought that it too would change but no such luck at all.
My concern is that these views are spam.
I have written a post on this too

What conclusion did you come to? Are they real or not?
Is your article about my post?
Is your article about my post?
I wrote my post before you.
I understand you’ve written an article before, but I don’t understand how it relates to the article I wrote. Maybe I’m not smart enough to understand your comments, sorry!
You are funny!! You gave me enough comments! Why should I need more? No need to answer!😁
You blocked me but you can’t stay away from me! Isn’t that wonderful?
Good decision! All I can hope for is that you will respect your decision!
I have had such views in the past when I used to share on social media and people with big following reposted my posts. I don’t find it concerning. DIY has always been a popular topic, the article may be performing well on Google too.
I am commenting on this particular post, I don’t know about the trending section. If you have concerns, contact the admins.
I didn’t ask any questions in my comment and there’s nothing I can do about those views. I was trying to be helpful as admins are the only ones who could take care of this problem.
I was replying to the bit about you providing answers. Thank you for your information though!
I had posts with over 1000 views when I shared on G + where I had a lot of followers. Since then I haven’t had so many views on a post.
The views are real. tasartcraft’s delusions are not real
I post too little to be able to comment on this, dear Ileana
You should be more active! We miss your posts.
I don’t have the right will to post anymore … the administrators have taken all the will away from me … there is always something that doesn’t work as it should … maybe I’ll be more active when the situation improves, if ever?
Usually I share my post on Pinterest and twitter. I don’t think anyone shares my posts too often!
So, should I understand that someone did this to get you out of the first place? This is funny!😀
I will not enter into controversy with you! It’s just your imagination that I did “something” to you.
I’ve no idea … but it could be that your post is shared and the colourful crafts attracted people to click …
The worst could be some spammers that want this site to close down and wish to flood it with spam and sabotaging the Adsense.
The first time I thought that the topic of my post brought me these views, but there are many posts that in the last day had over 1000 views and I thought it might be spammers.
I have not reviewed my posts. I’ll check it in a moment. This is an interesting thing that happens with your posts.
I noticed by chance that my post is in the trading section after 20 days with over 1.2k views! (Btw. Yesterday I sent you a PM. Can you check the message and give me an answer? I asked you something about ClickAsnap)
