It will be pretty easy to spot... the only one on there with the Shutterstock watermarking.

So, what would be my best course of action to make a little money? Go to shutterstock or hit the site myself?

If you can contact the website owner directly, send a DMCA to them with either a license fee or link to where they can purchase the image.  That's the only way you can get reimbursed without going through Shutterstock.  A lot of websites, such as Wordpress blogs, don't have contact info, so you have to contact the host directly and all you'll get is them removing your image.

Thanks. I just sent Shutterstock a email and will see what they do. I guess I have been around long enough to really start checking up on my images now...lol. Maybe this weekend, me and google image search are going to get to know each other really well.

Pour yourself a drink when you do, because it's likely you are going to need it after seeing all the money you are losing to thieves.
