What happens when you hotlink me

For some odd reason my post Blog is the new magazine was consistently my highest trafficked post.   If you look under “Greatest Hits” in my sidebar, it’s on top.  I couldn’t figure out why until I saw that I was getting hits from Google for the term “magazine”.

I Googled the term only to not find a link to my site in the first 10 pages.   Then I clicked image search, and I saw the image I used in that post (now removed) as the second result.  The hits we’re not “legitimate” but were just people scraping the image from Google search.  Usually not a big deal, but then the hotlinks started to come.

Seriously, I warned them.

Introducing Consumer Whore

I’m a sucker for simplicity.  In that regard, I started a small side site called Consumer Whore.  The theory is simple: Cool stuff to buy, everyday.

Every business day at noon I post an interesting thing to have in your apartment or home.  There are a few design blogs that follow a similar theme.  However, I am trying to set CW apart by featuring things that can be purchased now.  One complaint I always had about tech and decorating blogs was that the items featured are either over $1,000, or not available for purchase.  Hopefully, I’m not the only one.

So, if you’re bored, check it out!  And if you’re really bored tell me which random header is the best.

As always, criticism is welcome.
