I've been noticing hits coming from google images, namely from foreign domains (google.uk, mexico, etc). Anyway, it's for an image that I don't even have on my site, but it comes to my site and uses a negiligible amount of bandwidth, but it's slightly annoying. Anyone know if there's a way to stop google images from not displaying images from my site? Is it just a matter of modifiying the robots.txt file to exclude any image directories? Like I said, it's a small thing but still bothersome lol

Check out putting a robots.txt file at your site. That should put a leash on those crawlers:

Yeah, I've moved all my images to their own directories and did a disallow for them. Hopefully google will take out that image out of the database eventually, since it doesn't exist on my site anymore.
