Hi,
I think it would be valuable if the viewed count on a given profile didn't increment when it's the profile manager or a trusted user viewing the profile.
My reasoning is that as a profile manager / trusted user trying to improve a particular profile I often have to cross-reference multiple profiles I manage as well to gather sources and bio text that I've already posted. Each time I do this, it bumps the view count on the profiles, but these aren't "valuable" views on the profile compared to ones that might have come from searches or other feeds that indicate outside interest.
I have some profiles for which I surely account for > 50% of the views. As the profile manager, I don't care about my views, but would like to see the count of folks who are not me, and possibly focus a bit more effort on the ones that seem to be coming up over and over in searches/feeds.
Just a thought I had and I'm sure I'm not the first. Throwing it out there...
Thanks, Joe
