I’ve just installed Clicky Web Statistics on this site. It’s a useful free service which provides handy information on visitors: where they come from, what they’re reading and how long they stay.
There’s an option to make the data available to the public and I might do that after I’ve tested the service a bit longer.
The stats led me to discover something unfortunate. I had some visitors coming from a strange tripod.com web address. I checked it out and the owner of the site was using a photograph of my twins that I had published here.
The site was an amateur compilation of “femdom” pictures. I had used the phrase “female domination” in the tag and I assume it must have been showing up unwanted in Google searches.
The link was directly to my server, so I promptly deleted the picture from there and changed the tag.
Updates: I use Google Analytics now instead of Clicky Web Statistics. I also have hotlink protection on images.
