What's Logic?

So my nifty website hosting service provides this totally addictive tool that lets me see which pictures people click on, sliced and diced in many different ways.

Its ended up being both a blessing and a curse.  If I'm having a bad time at the day job and kick over to the photo site to get a pick-me-up from my photo stats and they're bad for the day (or the week) well then its not super helpful.  And when its good it make me crazy because I've never been able to determine a correlation between what people click on and pretty much any action I take.  I mean sure, I see a spike before and after a show.  But sometimes on a random Tuesday I'll get a couple hundred hits.  And they're almost never for my most recent pieces.  Because what's logic got to do with it.  Sometimes they're not even for my classic pieces that sell well.  Hello random tulip photos from three years ago on a random Wednesday.  <shakes head>  The order I arrange the photos into in a gallery doesn't seem to affect the pattern.  Posting on social media doesn't seem to affect the pattern.  It frankly makes me batty because my other world of geekdom and computers is all A-B testing and clear cause-and-effect.  (Well unless the firewall crashes for no reason anyways.)

Bookmarks maybe?  Perhaps one day someone will walk up to me and mention that they've concocted some master evil plan and have bookmarked all their favorites on the site so they can find them easily and my mystery will be solved. And as a bonus hopefully a sale :)
