Well, I had tried bot blocking but since people are 
spoofing the clients, or disregard robot commands, it is 
hard to prevent that. I mean the app is thorough and highly 
intrusive. In otherwords good and bad.

I created an include page that is a tarpit, all it does is 
fill up with random characters, and added fake id=xxx 
(where you see xxx i it a random number generated), it iss 
the first 10 links on everypage, and then the page links to 
itself with further fake id numbers attached to 1 bunch of 
clear gif files.

As for obscuring the image by encoding the links, it does 
not work either. I run a local server to test these 
practises.

I tried loading movies in movies in swf files, but it 
parses those as well.
