View counter gone hay-wire
-
My view counter has gone hay-wire on my review of The Boy With the Striped Pyjamas. I now have over 4000 Counts and that is thousands more than it ought to have been.
What can I do?

I just went and took a look at your statistics, and the traffic which you’ve gotten has actually come from Yahoo Image Searches. Google has recently instituted practices that makes sure that any image searches from its site results in few if any views on statistics. Yahoo has not yet implemented any such changes, so it someone searches for a term that matches an image on your site, then that can result in a view (but not a visit, because nobody visited your site) showing up in your stats.
In your case, if you review the search terms, you can see that recently searches for “boy in the striped pajamas” resulted in a lot of hits.
It may be that there were a lot of hits that fit those terms, or one person went back over and over again. In either case, that appears to be what happened!
I hope that clarifies things!
