Traffic shaping working very well

In January this website was on its way to pass my 10 gig a month traffic limit, beyond which things would get kind of expensive. So I had to do a few things to cut back on the traffic without affecting readers.

Today I can say that these measures have worked very well. I was able to cut the traffic below 4 gig while maintaining the same hits and a lot more page impressions. Life is good.

Out of interest: What kind of measures were that?

The most important one was: Make sure that spiders don't get to the images files.

I explain difficult concepts in simple ways. For free, and for money. Clue procurement and bullshit detection.
