Blocking

I know I’ve harped on about this for a while now, but I have to say that I’m still really chuffed with how well my little piece of script for blocking Google Images has worked.

Yes, I’ve got a lot less daily users now – but at least they’re valid readers now, not bloody Google. And my bandwidth useage has nose-dived since blocking the referrers from Images.google. In fact, it’s more than halved.

To me, that’s pretty successful, particularly considering it took a whole four lines of code – and two of those were just to make it a bit more expandable, should I find anyone else who’s using shitloads of my bandwidth. And in the meantime I can’t see it as being anything but good for d4d™
