Actually, I gave up on watermarking after talking to a bunch of webmasters about it.

Half said it was worthwhile --- half said it wasn't, mostly because watermark tracking through Digimarc (as an example) is pretty much limited to search engines only.

(Bay TSP claims a better system but I've heard mixed opinions about that too.)

Alot of webmasters said they only found out about pirated pics mostly through word of mouth ... rather than tracking the pics through watermarking or similar means.

Plus, you have to go through all the hassle of getting the pics removed once you find them.

I put my url on all of pics AND slice them into smaller pieces. Makes it pretty miserable for any pirate to put them back together ... particularly when they have to crop out the url on top of all of that hassle.
