General / removal information

Some quick facts about the site:

• camdiscover.com is an autonomous web crawler, just like a web search engine. It finds and adds the webcam images to the site automatically. Please do not be offended about being added to the site without notice, it's an automatic service just like Google's image search.
• The site fetches images from each cam a maximum of 3 times per day, so it is gentle on bandwidth. It is not a full archive site. It does not hotlink images, they are fetched and re-served.
• Discovered cams are categorised and information such as the cam name and web site URL are entered by site visitors.

Why you should have your cam on camdiscover.com:

• Providing that the information is known, it will increase traffic to your web site.
• Linking into your cam page on camdiscover.com will increase your rankings in the top cams list, that shows on the main page. This will also increase traffic to your site.
• You can link into your camdiscover.com cam page as a mini archive.
• You can keep track of which pages hotlink your images (eg cam portals).
• It will increase exposure of you and your cam to the greater net. It's just another kind of cam portal.

Why you should NOT have your cam on camdiscover.com:

• The cam image is to be used on your site only, or requires a paid licence. We respect your wishes and take copyright issues very seriously, and will promptly remove a cam if requested.
• You do not want your cam image to be mini archived. There are up to 24 past images, with at least 8 hours between each fetch.
