Well of course, pretty much any data looks linear on a log-log chart. The real question here is what the formula is between the rank and the number of views. You absolutely cannot derive it from the log-log chart. My point from the beginning is that it's not a power law (y=c*a^bx, where y = views, x = rank and the rest is constants).
