I recently took a photo out of my portfolio since it was obvious it had been linked to from somewhere outside (significantly disproportionate number of views compared to others and profile views...by hundreds, especially since it was not linked here) and I could not find where.
Isn't there a way the site can see these external links in their logs (via access to one image from an outside site)? Is there any control of external links to the images maintained on this site when the images are here and just linked to from somewhere else? If we suspect this is the case for an image, can we get the linked info from the admins?

My interpretation of the [url//www.dpchallenge.com/privacy.php]Privacy Statement[/url] is that we cannot share that information. Google does, however, offer the ability to search for pages that link to a specific page (backlink searching). so you may have some luck tracing it down that way.
So long as the remote site links to the page that hosts the image, rather than deep-linking the image itself on their own page, they are operating within the terms of the Terms of Use. The fact that your image views were incrementing suggests that they were linking to the page, not the image, so all is good from that perspective.

Excellent - I have two images that seem to have weirdly large no.s of views, and have been idly wondering how I might track them down for some time. Didn't know about the 'backlink' searching ...

From the sounds of it though they are linking directly to the image (using an ![]() tag) and not the image page. If this is the case, I don't think Google can follow, since there's no link to follow. |
