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.
