: How to track hot-linking of image types in IIS7 I don't want to block hot-linking on my site; it's not that big a deal. However, Google Analytics doesn't show me referrers to png/gif/jpg content;

I'm not a master of IIS7 so my response will be pretty limited, through it'll use some logic based on what I do.

I don't use Google to track hotlinking, I use various of other applications such as:


SOURCE


Google Analytics
Woopra
Mint
Clicky
StatCounter
Reinvigorate
PiWiki
Open Web Analytics
Chart Beat
Mix Panel
Kiss Metrics
Fox Metrics
Going Up
Engine Ready



I'm not sure how many if any of these will work on the IIS platform. However another way of tracking hotlinks is using backlink trackers, embedding a image of any type or any file for that matter is a backlink, you're be able to track your links using good backlink firms such as:


Majestic Seo (free for site owners, just verify your site).
SEO Profiler
