Image tracker?

Is there a way to see where my images are being hotlinked to? Like to see where on other sites they are being posted?

I dont like it when people leech off bandwidth my photobucket.

If you have your own website, you usually can access logs that provide this info. Since photobucket is not yours, you can look for a statistics page, but if its not present (I don't use photobucket) then you're out of luck.

There is a statistics page, but it only shows 4 sites.

I need to purchase pro to get more than 25 listings.

Thanks for the help

Then get pro or get your own site.

there is a bandwidth limit on photobucket accounts?

Yes, and it's a bleedin' tiny one too.

You could always use another image host with a very high bandwidth cap, like imgur.

Obviously. You have to try hard to be the worst image host on the internet, and photobucket is definitely going for it.

Evil, you could try a reverse image search engine, like tineye.com. You just upload the image you are looking for, and the engine will fetch sites that have identical or near-identical matches.

Good luck!

(Btw. if you find sites that hotlink to your images, what you plan to do about it?)

I'll murder them for even using my images.

As you know for yourself, that this won't happen, what will you really do?

If you got your own site, you could replace hotlinked images that aren't from an approved list of sites and replace them with either a polite message explaining things, or a horrific shock image.

I'll do that, that's so cool!

I'll get my own site, and make the most viral images on the web and then suddenly replace it with a horrific image.

If dataflashsabot can find one for me

You'll need to either find a free host that allows .htaccess support AND image hotlinking (let me know if you find one), or pay for one. Then make/find a PHP script that processes all image requests, and replaces their content with that of a 'different' image if the referrer is wrong (not on your approved list). As for which image, I can't (won't) help you with that, but I'm sure Google will be happy to oblige. Just be prepared to wash your eyes out with bleach

You do not need a php script for this. It can all be done with htaccess.

Even image hotlinking can be done entirely with htaccess.
