Just a hotlink protection test

No comments necessary on this test. I'm just trying to see if my hotlink protection is working.

Thank you.

Looks like it is!! woohoo!

Weird... a few hours after I enabled hotlink protection, google dropped me like a hot frying pan to the bottom of page one, so I'm disabling it. 2 days later, I'm back to at least #6 on page one. Maybe it was a coincidence...??

Dont know what your test as to do??

I could right click on the image - select view image - then copy or save it

It is really futile attempting to protect any content image or text that you want on the www

hot linking Kobra,
dont want someone to be able to use your bandwith along with your images,

example,

I sell widget A on my site, and rather than add images to my site when I put an image on a page rather than add src="images/whatever" I add
img src="http://www.kobrassite.com/path_to_image/

canemasters, this approach might work better for you:

Before I disabled the hotlink protection, that image loaded up our president talking into a phone that he had upside down to his ear.... FAIL!
