Can't say with any certainty. They could be passing it around saying, "Oh, look, the guy who only had the word stuff on his Linkedin finally updated it." It honestly doesn't signal anything even if they look at it every day. You'll just have to wait and see if they contact you.
I'm assuming two people viewed it, or one viewed it over the course of a couple days, since once you see a person has viewed it you cannot tell how many times they viewed it that day.

I sent a note sunday night telling the person thanks for viewing it and it is now updated properly. They looked at first thing this morning. If they weren't interested they might not have bothered but just deleted my email.The head person is the one viewing it
No updates yet, but one thing.The day the HR person looked at my profile they uploaded and brand new job is was a variation on the old one. It had around 15 points of duties. What's interesting to me, is that they seem lifted from my resume. I had every single one of those points listed in bullets on my resume and cover letter.every point in this job description was a variation on what I said just restated. I have no idea if it's just a mass coincidence or they took my resume for ideas. I have no idea.
Do places do this? I have not seen this before. Every point, every one is just like what I wrote out. It's odd to me
While getting a view is certainly a good sign, you cannot jump to the point "the job is mines!"
The basically rule I have learned while job hunting is :
1) No matter how well the interview went (in person/phone), no matter how much you and the interviewer "connected", no matter how good the rapport between you and the interviewer -you don't have the job until you get the actual offer letter"
So yes it is an encouraging sign, but do not sit on it, keep looking

If an ad is run that doesn't attract people with the right skills, it's not unusual for a company to tweak the ad. Requirements of a position aren't always going to vary wildly from one place to the next, so the fact that there are similarities between their new posting and your resume doesn't mean they lifted your bullet points. On the other hand, they may have been hasty in posting the first time, saw your resume, and thinking it looked better, did lift the wording. Anything is possible.
It does sound like they've discounted you for the job, however, if the work you're doing so closely matches their new ad.

I just think they have borrowed some of my writings for this new job. I have no proof but it seems awfully suspicious to me.The points match out quite well.
This job has only been up for less than a week. Do companies borrow from people's resumes? I really do think they took some of my lines for this new job description. Around 15 identical points. All of them match mine, all of them.
