 * Hi,
    On occasions I get multiple hits on a post from the same visitor. Today 
   I had 280 hits on a single picture from the same person. My stats show that this
   had taken over one hour to accomplish. Perhaps there is a simple explanation,
   however I would like to get to the bottom of it. Regards Alistair

 * Chances are, someone has re-posted that specific image (or is using scraped content)
   on their own site by linking directly to the image on your site. Anytime anyone
   views the hot-linked image on the other site, your site takes a hit. You might
   grab the ip from your log and research it to see if you can find a stolen image.

 * Thanks James, I did find the ip address and which area the person lives. Not 
   sure how to proceed further. Alistair

 * If it’s a case of someone using your image, the ip address might belong to their
   web site. You can go here – webyield.net/domainquery.html – and put the ip address
   in the field next to “Resolve IP Address”, and it might tell you the domain name
   of the site. Then you might be able to take a look for your content.
 * You can also block the address from visiting your site using your .htaccess file.
