Hotlink or leeching or...

I was playing with bing.com today and was curious what it found for my domain mainemillers.com I was disturbed by some of the entries, here is an example:

What should I do to stop some of this kind of stuff? I could password my whole gallery but that's not really what I want to do, google did not find nearly as much of this as bing did. I am running gallery 2.2.4

Thanks,
matt

Probably the best thing to do is create a robots.txt file. These are the first thing that search engine spiders look for and from the code in that and from there index your site.

You can find loads of information from google on this.

I need to visit your site. You know, to investigate.
