What is the definition of a "view"?

[Katherine339]

On the Progress area, there is a tab "views".

Are the views, search pages or when your listing has been opened?

Just wondering, as I can't find a definition on the site.

Thanks

@Katherine339 It indicates the number of times your listing has been viewed. And don't be concerned about the ratio of bookings to views. Tons of people just peruse Airbnb listings, even if they don't have any specific travel plans yet. On this forum, for instance, hosts will often ask for advice on their listing, and other hosts will view it so they can offer pertinent advice.

Thanks Sarah for the information. 

Can you help me with another question?

When I look at the views, is there anyway to tell what date  was searched.  It seems that it just says ithe date of when the searching was done  ie Nov 15 40 searches. 

I would like to know how many people are looking for Easter next year.

Thanks

Katherine

@Katherine339   No, I don't think there's any way to know what dates the guests are looking at. Maybe some other hosts know different.

I have  question about views.  Say I have 10 views on any given day.  Is that 10 different persons looking a my listing or could it be the same single person looking at my listing 10 times in one day?  Just curious.

@Linda-And-Richard0  Good question. I sure don't know. You could test it out yourself by logging out and just looking at your listing incognito. Do it 10 or 15 times and compare it to the number of views you average per day. Of course, you'd have to make a note of what day you do it, since in my experience, the view graph tends to be flatlined for the current day and a couple days previous.
