duh... I am well aware of that. And since companies do send products for me to test and review, I suspect that it is one of them trying to see how much traffic is being generated from an image or review in particular.

I do not have anything on the site that I would be concerned about being copyright infringement or whatever so the marketing aspect sounds more inline with what I am thinking. Thanks!
Note: My post was not directed to you, but was in response to pdrew. There was, therefore, no implication re. the content of your site, your awareness of the public nature of the 'net, etc..

As for traffic coming from your site, such would require 1) that your site have an out-bound link to a site managed by them, and 2) that they view traffic stats for the target site.

The visitor here in question was looking for the presence of a specific image, i.e. the name thumbnail.
