I got a blog and in the past week I have had 90% increased in page views. Yesterday I had 2500 page views, I looked at the website statistics.

Visitors are even commenting, but to a very specific post, where I have this Hot picture. Anyways looking at the logs my biggest referral is Google to be more specific images.google.com/imgres

I?m afraid my allowed bandwidth is going to be consumed.

Update: 11/06/2005
I checked my bandwidth log and in the month of october I used about 900megs of traffic. Its only November 6th and I have had already 1.25gigs of traffic.

I removed the picture causing the problem, but that did not help, because google still has it cached and still sends visitors to my website.

I put this robots.txt file on my website, so the next time google crawls it ignore pictures on my website, but when that will happen, who knows!


 
if the pic is gone, you won't have a hit, even if google has it cached, they can't link/hit a non-existant file

I'm guessing its the pic, my log files don't specific the exact page visotors are visiting, only the top domain name e.g. example.com/

But since visitors are posting on the thread that has the picture, thats what i'm guessing.
I could remove the entire thread out or maybe i should host the picture like on photobucket.com or imageshack.us i don't think google searches those websites?

Ask your host for some extra bandwidth, assuming it's not one of the huge companies?

I don't think i need anymore for just a personal blog that barely anyone reads, except for this little incident.

If the pic is no longer there though, then that'll reduce the traffic by ~80kb per visitor, which might help some in reducing bandwidth use.
Maybe minimise the amount of stuff on that page?
 
blogs, especially the ones using 'permanent link' which makes the page urls very descriptive, are very search engine friendly.

The picture is the problem. I won't put the exact search phrase because i dont want a ATOT effect but my picture is the first one that comes up.

The picture is gone, not being hosted by me anymore. I put it up on imageshack. But google still sends people to my website. I think the reduction of the picture will help.

I had 25,000 requests today. I don't know how that works but if its 25,000 x 89k thats a lot.

How about I change the offer from hosting the picture to hosting the site?
