I have noticed that one of my images
http://advantica.com/stockphotos/image/colorful-rock-stock-image-by-les-palenik-31/gets a very high number of visits (600 month-to-date as of March 26), while other images receive only 12 or fewer visits.
This has been going on for several months now, and I can’t figure out why this image gets so many visits. The Entry and Exit counters for this page show 182.My stats page doesn’t show the the detail of individual IP addresses for each visited page, so I can’t tell who visits this very frequently accessed page.
Any idea why is this happening or how can I tell who visits this one particular page?.
I did a Google search for Gneissic rock formations and your page is pretty close to the beginning of the image search page. Is it possible this is a hot topic (for some reason – I have no clue about rocks!) and it’s just coming from searches? It doesn’t look like the sort of image to have been grabbed by a wallpaper site
The only other place that returns that image in google is http://atlanticastockphoto.com/ guessing it’s linked from the network or something.
Jo Ann,
I don’t think that the rocks are hot topics – definitely not on continuing basis.
First month, I thought, it’s a fluke, but as I mentioned, this has been happening for several months now. Very strange!
I’ll report here if I find any links or patterns.@lespalenik wrote:

On my stats page, I can’t see the detailed information who are the visitors on a particular page, but when looking at the most frequent visitors to the site, I see two IP addresses (208.115.113.92 and 208.115.113.82), both connected with Wowrack.com, based in Seattle. I’m pretty sure that these sites are the culprit.
Wowrack.com is apparently a cloud hosting provider, with many other similar IP addresses.
I looked it up on Google,and there are many other people who noticed Wowrack.com’s visits on their sites. Still, I wonder why are they hitting just that one page.Sorry for the dumb question, but how do you know how many visitors has a particular page? where can I find the stats page?

Oh sorry, found! I’ts at cpanel 🙂
If you found your stats page, that’s good. The stats page may be different for every host.
I use ipower.com as my host, and they have a Control Panel, and one of the option is Statistics.Back to my original post. I still get about 600 hits per month on that particular page (compared to a dozen or two dozen hits for the next most visited page).
Now I found two more frequent visitors from Lvov in Ukraine, they usually hit it 3 times in a row.Lvov, Ukraine arrived from http://womens-journal.net/ and visited http://advantica.com/stockphotos/image/colorful-rock-stock-image-by-les-palenik-31/
