Gallery "borrowing"..wtf? - GoFuckYourself.com

I been noticing that alot of the referring links for my galleries are from sites I've never submitted to. The percentage seems to be increasing.

On one slow traffic day, more than 40% came from sites I've never heard of.

Personally I like the additional traffic. So I don't mind if everyone and their mothers use my galleries. But I know some people using their own domains think that the "additional" traffic is just bandwidth eating freeloaders.

But since I use mostly free hosts, there's absolutely nothing to lose, right?

I've gotta say the more traffic the better. I mean that's the point of posting, right?

True, if someone pays to host a gallery and submits it to me, knowing I'm only gonna send a few k. Then if the hun grabs it up and lists it - I can see where it could cause a BW problem.

But if it's a smaller site, new (non-traded around) traffic, it seems like a good deal for everyone. I'd get the blessing of the TGP before I copied his links though.
