Well i have been going through a bit of bandwidth in the last couple of days, so I did a little bit of scrounging around my Awstats and found some interesting data, below is a screenshot of the search engine referrals aswell as hits, and it seems Yahoo has been hitting my website enough for it to hurt. So what I did was find out exactly where Yahoo was hitting me from, so I went through the log files and found that Yahoo has been hotlinking my images, a lot of them too. Here is one of the pages it has been eating bandwidth from here. As you can see it is a Yahoo domain, so I just worked out how to block certain domains from hotlinking my images. Some people may be asking why I didnt just block all hotlinking, well that is because I have made it so people that want to use my images on there websites copy the codes from the picture pages which shows up as a thumbnail on there page, linking to my site with the image on it. So now thats all figured out, I can get back to adding more cars and images, nearly hit the 3500 mark for images too.
