When I'm viewing stats for a journal-style gallery, what exactly are the stats telling me? It's possible to view an entire jounal-style gallery without ever clicking on a photo, so do "photo views" only mean that the viewer clicked on an image to view it lightbox? And if so, every subsequent "next" or "previous" click also counts as a "view"?

    No. We record every photo we present on the page - so in Journal we'll record a hit for all the photos in the size that was presented (remember it can vary based on screen size).

    So if a viewer opens a page with 10 pics, that counts as 10 views even if they never scroll down and look all of them? I guess that's really the only way to do it, other than not counting the page view at at all.
