I'm confused as to why my google+ has almost 200,000 views, but it has zero posts and basically nobody in my circles. Is this counter broken for anyone else?
Are you really active in Gmail? It could be lots of people you correspond with clicking through to your profile, from the link that typically shows up in the right sidebar.
Nope, nobody contacts me personally through gmail. I kind of wish g+ had a similar stats tracker as youtube so I could check where all the traffic came from.
Interesting, I have 216 followers and 86,062 views...
I have 3 'followers', basically no content and 10,755 views. I'm sure few humans have looked. Probably mostly search bots. I do have viewers on youtube though.
Large view counts are generally from photos. Either in Picasa Web or Maps.
