Understanding Listing Page Views

[Rich-and-Courtney0]

I'm having a hard time understanding "page views" data for my listing. This information would be much more useful if I knew what it meant and what it's tracking. I like to compare my listing to "similar listings" to see how mine is performing compared to others or if I make changes to my listing.

If I view page views for the previous 7 days against similar listings, does this show me how many people visited my page during that time frame? 

Or does this show me how many people viewed my page for their specific travel dates that fell in that time frame? 

What got me thinking, was the fact that you can view page views in the future...if someone could explain, that would be very helpful.

@Rich-and-Courtney0 they change the algorithms and data presentations every couple of years, so don't get too invested in the stats. I used to be all over it ("like a fat kid on a smartie") and I'm sure @Mike-And-Jane0 have seen a few changes over the years - but I don't think many are actually useful for the hosts to use and just ignore them all now..  Hope you're doing well.

Cheers, Charles

@Rich-and-Courtney0 Given that the view data goes into the future it must be views for travel on a particular date. Also I understand it only goes 3 months forward so will currently show no views in July onwards.

Hope this helps
