I find that 99% of the time in cases like these, where the site owner is like "Gee, I just have no idea what could POSSIBLY be the problem!", but then you actually get to see their site, their site is a spammy piece of shit. So it's probably that. Hope this helps OP.
And hey, I really have no...
I'm sure we've all had people hotlink images on our sites before, but also found that on the bright side (?) there's also a link somewhere on the page (embedded in the image, usually) that links directly to the image file on your site.
So what do you think, do links to media files have any SEO...
At least one person has the right idea. Jesus christ.
I miss the Wickedfire days when OP would have been called a faggot instead of getting these lengthy diatribes about how he can be "a beacon of light in the darkness". As if internet marketing is something you do because you want to better...

Personally I go for a .com 100% of the time these days purely because I like how it looks. I think it looks/feels more legit. I also don't like the idea that there would be someone floating out there with the .com version of my name.
Anyways I don't think Google cares though, except for maybe...
I bought a domain like this that had previously been used in someone's PBN (didn't find that out until after I had bought it). I made the site look nice and put 10 decent (not amazing) articles on it and submitted a reconsideration request and they removed the penalty within a week or so.

They have an image for pretty much everything you could think of. You've just gotta give attribution for the images you use. This is great for things like pictures of celebrities, sporting events, etc. The quality isn't as good...
There's a possibility that Google might not be so fond of affiliate sites, so it'd be nice to hide that from them if possible. That being said I don't know if it's actually possible to hide anything from The All Seeing Eye of Google (PBUH), but I'm pretty sure that's the rationale behind...
