Yeah, I know people are using your hosted images on their sites, this is called hotlinking.

Running a photography site, it happens to me all the time, and I am paying for blog user's to use my images on their sites.
They take
http://www.TestShoot.com/myimage.jpg and paste it in their sites, and I end up with half of my content served places other than my site!
So I got a *free* iis isapi filter:
http://www.isapirewrite.com and I used the script to send images to any site I don't want using my image the following:
http://www.TestShoot.com/noleech.jpg anybody I don't want using my hosted images gets a surprise, you ofcourse could use a spacer.gif of something vulgar

All that you need to know is on their site.
Directory trix:
I also run: A
PaintBall website. I wanted the site to change the awful product.asp?id=3&cat=4&name=Gun to something more like a directory since many search engines hate that junk. So my new structure looks like:
http://lowestpaintballprices.com/com.../idProduct/491
Pretty nifty huh?
All covered by the same isapirewrite filter. All I had to do was change the hotlinks eliminating & ? and = by replacing them with the very subtle /
Go on, it's ok to worship me!
