Top 20 Favorites for 2005 as chosen by the Flickr world

Wow!!! Your 20 photos in your mosaic have more views than my whole photostream does. ;-((

EDIT: OK, curiosity got the best of me and I finally counted my stats.

V-7,014, F-281, C-386
Total photostream views: 15,815

So that means that these 20 photos account for 44% of the total views of my photostream.......... WOW!!! That doesn't say a lot for the rest of my photo's ....... ;-P

------

Same for me, I feel ashamed posting any numbers here ;-)

[EDIT] OK, just out of curiosity I calculated the numbers, and having done so, I can make them public anyway:

1607 views, 82 comments, 27 favorites

well i had to add them up but didn't amount to such great numbers as josef.stuefer but here they are :)

2291 views 147comments 104 faves

Cool idea to play with the numbers. Here's mine: v-8335, f-542, c-389

Thanx for inviting me to the group, Josef Stuefer!

Just added them up so here are mine:
V-9361, F-349, C-518

Here are mine:
Views: 3219
Favorites: 125
Comments: 186

I will post my collage later, but was intrigued by this.

My stats: v-3491, f-231, c-198

Not only are Josef's numbers incredible, his favorites to views percentage is the highest in this thread thus far: 7.59%.

My own 2005 top 20 stands in at 6.62% favorites to views ratio.

I did my counting.

V-38677 F-2518 C-1257

V-1430 F-151 C-119
... but I only joined in December ;-)
Percentage f/v 10.5

I can't believe you're making me do math this late at night :)

Fun Flickr Facts

I became a Flickr Lovr a couple of months ago. So far..
V- 5832 F- 240 C- 164

My most viewed is #84!

My stats: v-5036, f-135, c-103

Not to bad, for a novice, I suppose... ;-)

My stats:

V: 4,893 F: 309 C: 563

V/F = 16.10
V/C = 8.70

On the picture set:
Max-V = 501 (#1)
Max-F = 35 (#1)
Max-C = 44 (#3 & #7)

The top 20 favorited makes the 39,42% of views of my photostream.

I love statistics :D.

I only started uploading photos in October 2005...

Damm, I feel a little inadequate here!

total: v 4785, f 159, c 107
average: v 239.25, f 7.95, c 5.35
total photostream views: 37306
12.83% of those views taken by these 20
fav/view = 3.32%

I have spent four months on flickr.

My top 20 fav'd photos received...

5,583 views,
221 favs, and
301 comments.

This means...

3.96% of people who viewed these photos also fav'd them,
5.39% of people who viewed these photos commented on them, and
I received 136.20% more comments than favorites.

My top 20 fav'd photos have an average of 279 views, 11 favs, and 15 comments.

My #1 fav'd photo is #3 for views and #2 for comments.
My #1 most viewed photo is #2 for favs and #3 for comments.
My #1 most commented photo is #4 for views and #4 favs.

One photo in the top 20 has no comments whatsoever.

20% of these 20 photos hold 80% of the favorites, causing me to grit my teeth because that dumb rule has been proved correct yet again.

I did the maths and my top 20 fav'ed account for:

3207 views
172 favs
101 comments

My stats:
23851 views
520 favs
489 comments
average views: 1192.6
average favs: 26
average comments: 24.5
views/favorites: 45.9

But that's nothing. Solea actualy has some pictures that have over 500 favs, EACH! Comments per picture usually exceed 100 per picture and the view count will probably not fit on a calculator.

views: 3814
favs: 180
comments: 220

f/v: 4,72%

Looks like I've got a long way to go to catch up ;)

views: 9659

Ha! A lot of views with little interest!

Top 20:

Views: 10103
Faves: 750
Comments: 357

v/f: 1 fave per 13.47 views
v/c: 1 comment per 28.3 views

People fave the photos more than twice as much as they comment on them.

V/F: 29.8

:D

OK:
Views 14,361
Faves 28

They like it, they just don't tell me why...

There are some very impressive numbers listed above!

Views: 1597
Favs: 50
Comments: 49

32 views for every favorite, 3.1%
(Thanks Marj K).

I'm a consultant so naturally I made a spreadsheet :)

This is after 4 months on Flickr ( I joined in late August).

Views: 9149
Favs: 442
Comments: 290
Pictures of hot women: 0

v/f: 20.7

For a meaningful comparison with rebeccamissing's original post, to get favourites as a percentage of the number of views:
Favourites divided by views multiplied by 100.
442 / 9149 x 100 = 4.8%
50 / 1597 x 100 = 3.1%
309 / 4,893 x 100 = 6.31%

Those whose egos got a boost by having stats better than Josef's, sorry to bring you back to ground :-)

The totals for my 20 top faves:
v: 3384 | f: 178 | c: 232

v/f: 19

Total stream views: 4110
94 photos
82% of my views come from 21% of my pics

Again, that damn 80/20 rule!

Finally, my numbers:

faves = 542
views = 9261
comments = 947

f/v = 5,85%
v/f = 17,08


:*

views=12720 (all 20 are of...zombies...)

fav = 99

comments=191

total stream views= 14151

(ps--I was heartened to see that I'm not the only one with favs > 100...)

Ok, here's my totals:

v = 19679
f = 282
c = 269

I got an avg. 69.78 views per fave (but the majority of views come from my 2 top faves, and I've got one other high-viewed but not-so-high faved photo, so the numbers are slightly skewed because of that.)

ok, i love maths and games.

v=93355
f=3951
c=1459
avg=23.6
total=115562
so the top 20 images got 80% of the views. why bother :-)

the top 3 photo views totals 61444 (one of them not in the top 20), more than half the total, so it heavily skews everything. that's what external links can do...

i laughed at jauderho's pic of hot women stats !

My top pic: 1089 views / 134 favorited / 64 comments
My second pic: 32 views / 3 favourited / 1 comment
Skewed?

v = 3080 | f = 79 | c = 30 | v/f = 39 (one fave per 39 views).

[Subtracted my own comments of course.]

v= 11443 ka 572,15
f= 766 ka 38,3
c= 535 ka 26,75
f/v (%) 6,694
1 fav need 14,939 views

and one more ;)
Your photostream has been viewed 9486 times.

Too much work to make a total

view=1098 for the 1st (Une nuit blanche à Paris)
fav 46 for the 1st (Aie! they will see you!)
53 comments for the 1st (same)

but interestingness first is "shaving"

And my photostream has been viewed 59287 times: WHAT DOES that MEAN? as I have almost 8000 images now on line? They looked at some? I looked at them? Someone understands what that means?

I find funny the images "most favorited and most viewed" and the differences between them, but when I look at the twenty, I like the diversity!

v= 7548
f= 395
c= 418
v/f= 5,23%

Not too bad for kittypics ;)

ooooh... i love doing math on a friday night... (wasnt going out anyway, so why not)

here are my numbers from my top 20 faved images:
total faves: 5147
total views: 152648
total comments: 2676

and, at the moment, my photostream is up to 624830 total views, for what its worth. (since april 31st, 2005)

I think that the "hot" pictures in MY photostream dont represents my
work as a photographer.
Photos are from between
01 Jul 2005 & 04 Jul 20005
Total : 20 photos
V: 96584
F: 414
C: 221
But, Any way ,I am thankful.

My top 20 stats:

Views: 15421
Favs: 764
Coms: 339

My top 20:

v=8758
f=466
c=463

%5.32

5338 / 277 / 213, photos from sept to dec

but those numbers influence your way of seeing,
so better don´t pay too much attention ;)

in comparison to some of the ones above I'm v. low:-
3005/ 112/ 100
:-(

(one fave per 27 views).
(one comment per 30 views).

Max view - 736/ 22/ 20
Min view - 32/ 3/ 2

but they only correspond to about 16% of total viewings since I started - total 18760 but started in 2004 - of my photostream.
But only really 'discovered' or used groups since June/July... so external views only arrived via tags or friends.

So hopefully 2006 will be the year!

Food for thought: I'm brand new to Flickr, been on all of two months, so I can't claim hundreds of views, etc. How much ego is tied up in these numbers? How important are they?

sk8mama - it all depends on the person. ;) I think everyone appreciates the views/comments/faves (I know I do :) but they mean different things to different people. I wouldn't get hung up on them. Though when you see people with hundreds of faves per photo, it can be hard not to. ;)

My top 20 of 2005:

Views: 27816
Faves: 1278
Comments: 869
Pictures of hot women: 0

Been on Flickr since August 2005.

I think I did it wrong the first time. We are counting the views, favorites and comments of just the top 20 FAVORITED images right?

one other factor that should be considered, myself and many other members make comments on their own photos to thank people or respond to a remark or question. Shouldn't our own comments be overlooked when we factor in the total number of "comments" ?


Anyway....

Favorites: 332

Views: 9234

Comments: 291 (without my comments)

I only added up the numbers for my top 20 faved - but I neglected to subtract my own comments, so I do need to go back and change the number for that. I just haven't bothered - yet. ;)

well, I'm not sure you're required to subtract your own comments, I just did because I know I thank everyone who leaves me a comment, so I probably have just as many of my own comments on photos than I do from Flickr members. hehe

Max v-f-c was Meet Inuk with 1414-92-52

The most staggering statistic up there is rebekka's 625,000+ photostream visits since April. Fubuki and Special are in a similar stratosphere, and it raised the interesting question of whether Flickr has its first millionaire yet....

im up to 710,000 right now..

Uh...I'm bad with numbers. Yeah, that's it. Bad with numbers. I'm sure my stats are AMAZING! :-P

So rebekka had 624,830 views two months ago, and 710,000 four weeks ago. So that should be +/- 90,000 views a month.

So today, while writing this reply, she should have 800,000 views. At the beginning of May 2006, she'll reach the million :-) Now that's something!

1 000 000 views / year. Impressive!
