What do you do with all your Chinese/Taiwan/Japanese hotlinkers?

[Project-Shadow]

I always knew I had a few hotlinkers, you always do and I've blocked all the GET requests for jpg's etc ages ago.

But after looking at my stats i've seen that i'm getting 6-7k uniques directly linking to some of my image pages and galleries.. after some quick re-writing of my .htaccess i've decided that no calls to my gallery pages will be made my any site other than my own, and have now redirected this traffic towards a dialer, mainly because I have no use for it.

What do you do with your 'useless' traffic?

I'd sell it on GFY as top quality traffic. Newbies love that shit.

- I'll have to try that.
7k traffic - Love you long time | $5 per K

What rule are you using for this in .htaccess?

[Jakke PNG]

I just blocked them.. they were having a field-day with our hosted galleries when we opened. Well, not hotlinkers but sitesuckers.

My current .htaccess looks like this.

Problem with the site suckers is that they spoof the refferer and the actual client... you could call yourself googlebot with those bastards..
