Good day. I hope everyone had a great holiday.
Not sure if this is a legit question or not, but I have noticed that one of my photos in particular has been taking a pounding in hits(4202) in the last little while. One of the reasons for my concern, is this photo is part of a gallery, where there are about 70 images, and all have low hits(10 - 15ish).
I asked a buddy of mine, who feels that somebody is possibly linking to my photo via a blog, or something.
Is there anyway of finding out the website, or place that might be using my photo.
Here is the link to the photo.
http://www.room57.ca/gallery/4203795_8DNPN/1/245723634_rzwSA

I do not have this gallery protected, as it was set up just to show some people our day out, and I have kept it active.

If there is anyone who can help, that would be really appreciated as Im more curious then anything. :scratch
Thank you in advanced. :thumb

    Why not turn external links off, delete the old image and reupload it. That's one way.

    Wholinkstome.com is another way, as is statcounter.com if you don't use it, they have a free level.

    Thank you Andy.thumb.gifthumb.gif I will give that a try. Im not really angry that somebody is using the image, just more curious as to where it might be used. headscratch.gif
    Maybe I should be honoured that somebody thinks a photo of mine is good enough eh> wings.gif

    I suspect you'll see a little bump from your post.

    Why do people post their equipment in their sig. Isn't it kind of like bragging? That having been said...
