More than one site. One with remote linking but limited bandwidth. I did not anticipate how much bandwidth a 12K thumbnail on Free Stuff would use. A zip with a readme text is probably microscopic. The one I did with an HTML page with a link was 0.5K . My ISP perk space could stand that, although not too many thumbnails = 250meg/mo. It is not what I used. Even this may not work with Geocities. Duane Moody says he has lost his site until Oct. because a bot did not like his amount of usage. He was using Renderosities remote linking trick - lets hope this was what triggered the bot. If direct page views are what they are after then high traffic at the site should be the point. However, downloading zips does not constitute page views. My paid site has a usage tracker which reports page views and bandwidth. Could be a bot was set to look for an imbalance at Geocities. Christmas may soon be over.
