Had me wondering what the hell !?@paulmregan Why have you got hundreds of my images on your website Paul Regan?
A quick look and he was right (kind of).. But not just his images, EVERYONES!

Shows his gallery on my domain. Note the the Picasa Mobile URL (/m/) which also gave me the answer.
I have masked the Picasa URL using an Apache rewriteRule on my site :
RewriteRule ^m/(.*) http://picasaweb.google.com/m/$1 [NC,P,L]It appears the Google spiders came along and followed this all the way through Picasa's structure. I don't know how deep but Google site:www.paulregan.co.uk/m/ currently returns >250K links and every one of them works!
I can probably fix this with robots.txt, but ..
- Should I?
- Have I inadvertently discovered SEO gold?
- Will I be struck off and sent to web-master jail/gaol? (I probably should be)
