The thumbnailed caption has the url of the site that is hotlink my image, when you click on the thumbnail to the frames page and then click on the image, the image loads from my site (URL).
I used to use hotlinking protection, but was running into problems so I removed it.
Why would Google even index images a coming from sites that are hotlinking there images? This seems to be promoting hotlinking. A huge amount of traffic comes to my site from Google Images Search since my site is mostly pictures and wallpapers.
Some of my highest search images that used to come up on the first page have now moved back a few pages and a site that is hotlinking some of my images has moved into the the first page. By the way the site that is hotlinking is made up entirely of hotlinked images. I have also notice that many blogs and Myspace have hotlinked images that are coming up hire in the Google image search than the original sites whos images are being hotlinked.
You would think that Google Image Search would be smarted than that.
