How Can I Tell If Someone Is Stealing My Image...hotlinking?

[rgtozavb]

So I have an image that seems to come up a lot in google search referrers. It's one image. So I am thinking maybe either I have killer google rank on it, or someone is leaching it maybe? Someone stole it, put it on their site and is serving it off of me. Where would I look for this is stats? What would it be called? How would I know for sure? Any help?

 

Thanks for your replies!

Are you getting a lot of hits on one image ?

 

Are you getting a lot of links from one site?

 

I'd check out those two things first.

Ok this guy is for sure stealing my image.

What can I do about it? Is there anything I can do besides moving the image?

Nevermind I got it.

What you will probably want to do is enable hotlink protection, which you can find various ways described throughout this forum. That should help prevent people from leeching in the future.

 

But I'm glad you found your one culprit.
