A TimeSaving Technique ot Uploading Graphics from Internet

Discovering where Grapics are automaticallly stored on Hard Drives

[aaaaa]

Want to see exactly where a grapic is automatically loaded on your computer by default - with out you having to save it.

right-click on the graphic - go to properties - copy and paste the url into a new browser window.

once loaded - left - click and hold the mouse over the graphic - moving the cursor up to the top left corner towards the address bar - until you see the plus ( + ) sign on the extreme top left of the browser screen - then release the mouse and your address bar will automatically show the location on your hard drive where the image is located.

You can now copy - and paste this location - directly into an "upload" form (like the one that appears before a "browse" button) - without having to save the image to the Hard Drive!

The graphic can Still be save to "Favorites" for future use

This technique sometimes works with just selecting the graphic on the HTML page - but is very tempermental

While that is an interesting technique, what would you apply it to to make that more efficent? It seems like it is just a faster way to save (steal?) images from other websites... I just don't really get the point of why you would want to do that.

Checking Your WebSites Links and Spidered WebPages:
*
The following technique seems to work well for -
finding out how many pages in your site has been listed (Website theme)
and finding out how many links are linking to your WebSite (link popularity):

To check which Websites are linking to a particular site:

In Google and AllTheWeb - in the search box, place "link:" immediately BEFORE the complete url with no spaces. To avoid including pages from a particular domain add a space and "-site:" immediately before the domain, with no space.

In AltaVista - in the search box, place "link:" immediately BEFORE the complete url with no spaces. To avoid including pages from a particular domain add add a space- then "- host:"immediately BEFORE the complete url with no spaces.

In Lycos - in the search box, place "linkdomain:" immediately BEFORE the complete url with no spaces.

In MSN - in the search box, place "linkdomain:" immediately BEFORE the url without the "http:// with no spaces. To avoid including pages from a particular domain add a space and "-site:" immediately before the domain, minus the "http://"

To do a Pure Inktomi search go to [search.positiontech.com...] in the search box, place "link:" immediately BEFORE the complete url with no spaces.

what would you apply it to to make that more efficent?

Guesswork but just possibly, to upload a graphic to a banner exchange from a site that provides the banners but does not permit hot-linking to those images?
