| Sep 5, 2018 at 9:34 | comment | added | Django Reinhardt | "It stands to reason that the more people who see a question, the better the odds it will get a quality answer." That's not a great argument at all -- a thousand people who don't answer, is no better than 10 that don't. A better judge is to see how many Bountied questions have accepted answers, which is something explored here: meta.stackoverflow.com/a/320145/199700 | |

| Sep 25, 2015 at 21:36 | comment | added | SteveWash | Is it? I have a bounty on a question right now that's had a total of 32 views. If I leave the page and go back, it tells me I have 33 views. I've done that four times now, and the total has increased by 1 each time. Not likely its getting new views from other users since its been up for days with little traffic. And with only 36(now) views, it doesn't seem the increased "exposure" is working, either. | |
| Sep 25, 2015 at 15:58 | comment | added | Jon Ericson StaffMod | @SteveWash: Our viewcounter is a bit more sophisticated than that. It tries to avoid counting the same person more than once. In any case, it's unlikely a single person would push up a question by 1000 or more views. | |
| Sep 25, 2015 at 13:55 | comment | added | SteveWash | When the author goes back to look at a question, the view count goes up. Questions with bounties are questions people care about. I'd bet a significant part of those extra views are people checking on their own questions (yes you do get notified, but people check anyway). | |
