Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Who have you looked at?
I know Akamai is expensive, but the only comparison I have is compared to hosting the content yourself. Putting "content delivery network" into Google pulls up a few other companies; EdgeCast, Limelight networks, Velocix, apparantly even Amazon do it, too. I also found http://www.web-caching.com/cdns.html which is a list of CDN companies.

Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers?
A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.
New I found that same list
And of the dozen I looked at, most specialize in streaming media. Of the ones that do "small file" serving (<1MB), none of them list prices, just forms to request a call from a salesman. And you know what that means.

New Aye.
That was the only way a previous employer of mine got prices off Akamai. :-/

Maybe the solution is to look at different types of hosting...? I've no idea what. The few times I've gone looking, I've not had to serve 68Gb a day. :-)

New And it's *NOT PORN*
Well ... food porn, but that's different.

New Wow... but what about this...

Huh? Not a bad idea huh?

Also, just checking around places... you are starting to get some traction in many places... including Blogs about Food Blogs and SEO places that say "You need to do things like this" and give a Third of your page. Or places that "reformulate" your Content...

Also, you might want to check the "re-bloggers" those that claim you are a write of theirs, when in fact they are scraping and re-doing your content.

I'm not sure this place is doing yours, but places like it are springing up REALLY regularly and frequently.

ulitzer.com (sys-con media)

Google "Aral Balkan Sys-Con" ( http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Aral+Balkan+Sys-Con )

To get a taste of what they are doing to some people.

New Already had to do two DMCA takedown notices
There are a ton of sites the take RSS feeds and re-post under their own bylines. I've seen two of them doing mine. One of them, after the takedown notice, switched entirely to Amazon category listings as "posts". The other one dropped my stuff, but still has several other feeds re-posted.

I've got some Google Alerts out, so I see all the ones where someone links to me, but I haven't noticed it on the SEO sites. Can you give me some example links? I'd like to see what they're saying.

New Well, I started...
http://blondeintaiwa...-grandmother.html

Was the one that made me start really looking... backlinks to that page are what I started with... Some of the Pro Bloggin tools site... really to much for my mind swallow. I was off in another world last night when I was really looking. I went to bed shortly there after and have lost it to entropy.

I know I went to Taste Spotting plus a few other "index blog of blogs" and then started searching for your stuff. Then I started looking at Alexa and a few other SEO related firms... gads SOOO much out the, its really tough to remember, as I was sure you were on top of it.

I'll try a bit later.
New I've seen her
Google Alerts is pretty good. Maybe I've been putting too much faith in its ability to find all the new stuff.

New Obvious question...
... but I gotta ask. Have you asked your existing provider if they can recommend someone? If you're shipping more data then they have a plan for, they may well have a partner who does.

New Great point.
New I've asked them, waiting for a reply
