How do I trace a photo or the visitors?

  • 121FOTO
    Participant

    I have a photo on my flickr account that has attracted in only few days more then 140 views. The photo is a photo of my son and there is nothing special about it. I posted it there so my friends can see him. The stats for this particular photo shows a 100% referrer from an Unknown Source. Does this mean that this photo is blogged (even tho I have this option turned off) somewhere? Is there any other way to trace visitors? I reckon Google analytics wont work with Flickr? Am I right?

    Cheers all.

    I’m told there are ways to blog pictures on flickr anyway, and the “unknown source” is quite suspicious (though if it were a blog, its name should appear, it happened to me a few times in the past).

    Is there any other way to trace visitors? I reckon Google analytics wont work with Flickr? Am I right?

    Never tried to use Google Analytics on Flickr, mainly because I wouldn’t know where to put the line of code that Google uses to track websites.
    Anyway, have you tried TinEye?

    Prego! :-)
    You can also try to google the words you tagged the photo with, and see if your image comes up, and see if it’s hot-linked from an external site.

    TKMaxx in Cork has a good Pandoro (chiostro di saronno) on sale: at 12 euros it’s not cheap, but cheaper than having it sent from Italy :)

    Indeed, especially when you think they were selling for almost 20 euros a couple of weeks ago!

    and it’s overrated IMHO.

    it’s one of those “once a year” kind of things, i guess. I’m not totally crazy about it, but I always have a small slice of pandoro for breakfast during Christmas holidays :)

    Sorry, I don’t know how you’d trace a visitor from Flickr but I’d be interested.

    copy the title into google, see if anyone has blogged it.

    Use http://bighugelabs.com sign up to see if the picture has been explored…

    Don’t know if this is any use, but it details how you could search to see if a page is directly linked from other pages.
