i just checked my stats and this showed up for my blog:
weird google link
when you click on the 'see full size image' link, its one of my photos, that happens to have been deleted off my blog.
how is the picture showing up, and what does this link mean? did someone steal the photo off my blog?
Full Version: what does this mean?

Hi Tami
Don't worry, you haven't been 'robbed'! When google crawls your site it catalogues it all so people can find the content easily. If that was an old post on your blog (containing that image) that was deleted after google had crawled through then it will still exist in google's catalogue. I think it will only disappear when google realises that it's old content and crawls your site properly again. All that google page does is point to your site, much in the same way as it points to my flickr account. another weird google link
I'm not sure but you might at least be able to remove the image by deleting it from your wordpress folder. Log on to your server with an ftp client and go to:
/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/img_5571.jpg
Delete "img_5571.jpg" and see if it stops the image appearing when you do that search.
