Let’s say other websites/blogs/message boards and whatever are linking to a picture you did. Let’s just say “http://www.create-games.com/skins/default/mitch.gif” how can I ever find out they are using this picture? If I google search for “http://www.create-games.com/skins/default/mitch.gif” Google tells me Your search - http://www.create-games.com/skins/default/mitch.gif - did not match any documents.
Why is that?
Is there any way to search inside the code of websites so that I can find other websites using that picture or is there ANY way to find out who is stealing/linking to a picture?

If I remember correctly, this is generally called "hot linking", so you may wanna search that up on google or something to avoid it altogether.

Hope that helps

Soz for the double post, but here we go:

It's a little involved but generally free hosting sites don't allow this so watch out

Just off the top of my head (you can see it over there) you could replace the image with a script that dumps the requesting IP into a database or file, though that's a bit underhanded obviously.

Yeah, or sorta like our online thingy's http://www.create-games.com/usero.asp?id=25737&type=1 perhaps... It really all depends on what extents you're willing to go to MasterM

Oh and as for finding out if people are hot linking, the only way I really know of atm is via your hosts' stats on your site, which should list every goings on and what files use the most bandwidth and from where etc. though I'm yet to look into it properly however...

Well actually my question was this one:
Somebody posts his image on a message board. It's posted on imageshack and if I right click on the picture I can find out the exact URL.

Now I want to know: Which other sites does that guy visit?
So can I search for other websites that show exactly the same picture/that link to the picture as in
they all link to the same exact imageshack address
