Just (finally) put in some hotlink protection. My number of visitors has exploded in the past couple of months, but it’s hard to tell how much of that traffic was really just people downloading images and mp3s directly from a search engine page. I don’t mind the traffic, but I’d rather be paying for people actually coming to the site. So I’ve gone and added some code (many thanks to A List Apart) that will prevent people from displaying my images on sites other than this one, and, if they try to download my mp3s from a search engine page, they’ll get a helpful page pointing to where they can get it from my site instead.
Now to see how my stats change…
