A sounds good. Grin

I had someone do that to me on a forum, they were making fun of one of my ads because I took their moto but made it better, instead of "where members rule" I put "where everyone rules". After a bunch of posts making reference to that ad, I just changed it to another ad.

I also have some mean referrer tracking set for sites like that.

I say,
Ask them to put a bigbruin.com link on their site. Probably not worth as much as the bandwidth, but you never know.

If not, I wouldn't worry too much, because that's what you do isn't it. (review products). That's why companies send you products right. Good review sites are hard to come by and the more people who link to you the better.
Of course I don't know sh*t about reviewing and proper web netiquette.

Actually, they have a link to the review just below the pic. Stupid other languages not being readable in English Sad

heh

Not overly worried about it... And I would worry less if it was a store I had a relationship with, or at least one that asked to use a pic and hosted it themsleves.

They are in the business to make money selling that product and shouldn't be abusing other people's resources to do so... According to the log, only 2-3 people click the link to the review on their site per week... but the views of that pic are WAY higher...

Well we might want to start putting a "BB" watermark on the images we take. I bet that will deter theft - they wont like giving us free advertising.

True... I just need a good design for a low key one that looks good. I used one on one review, and I didn't like it... Plus the extra step was a pain... Laughing

You could always have your host make it so that people linking pics from your site don't get any image at all. They would just configure Apache (assuming that's your server) to only serve images to your site.

Yeah, I have access to that in the cpanel, but I don't want to lock that directory yet...
