i never quite understood what bandwidth is. is it how many visitors visit your website and if too many visit they'll use up your bandwidth? and also what is a bandwidth stealer? i know these are stupid questions, i have an idea on what they are, but i want to know exactly. thanks!

bandwidth is how much data your site transfers over a given amount of time. it's measured in bytes.

each time a visitor visits your site, your bandwidth increases by how big your site is (images, text, etc).

a bandwidth "stealer" is someone who directly links something from your site such as images, mp3s, etc.

ok thanks!i forgot to ask what direct linking is. is that when you put the img tag and they're website where they got it from then you put this <img src="lalala.com/dog.gif"> when your site is not lalala.com? thanks again

yea
