Page views

As noted in many discussions its difficult to get an idea of the number of views since the singular title will usually have the article and most search engines land readers there rather than the redirect but when both the singular and plural Clipper ship gets 598 views compared to 126 for Clipper ships but when typing it into the search box "Clipper Ship" (56) and then when "s" is included "Clipper Ships" (4)[[1]] comes up in the suggestions (7/6/2020 - 7/26/2020). Views for "Cars" (2,712), "Oranges" (263) and Purples (15) with Car getting 46,875, Orange (fruit) (35,788) Orange (colour) (14,240) and Purple (19,870) (7/6/2020 - 7/26/2020)[[2]].
