Display statistics on home page and/or galleries?

zubenelgenubi

Does anyone know of a way to display photo view statistics on the home page or on individual galleries? The simplest version would just be a count of total photo views in the last (say) one month - and this would also occupy very little screen real estate. A fancier option would be a small time-series plot of total photo views, although this would obviously take up more room. I could imagine putting a "hit counter" of total views across all galleries on my home page, and individual viewing stats for each gallery on the gallery pages. I suppose you could even add a hit count for this photo whenever just one is being displayed.

Any help appreciated.

there are a bunch of different hit counters you could add to your site. The issue would be finding one that doesn't use javascript. I'd suggest just running through a few on google and seeing what their code looks like. My only concern is if you added it to your entire site or galleries pages maybe it may track the hits for all the pages that block is displayed on together instead of separating it out for different pages. Most of the hit counters I've ever seen just tracked hits for the whole site not for single pages within a site.

Eric,

Thanks for these suggestions. I was kinda hoping for something native to smugmug, that would access smugmug's internal counts of photo views. Clearly smugmug has a system for tracking both gallery and individual photo views, because I can access these data from the "Stats" page of the "Account Settings" area. So I was hoping for a way that I post some of smugmug's statistics onto my pages for the amusement of my viewers. But I get the impression that there's nothing in place right now that would let me do this.

Thanks again,

- Mark
