A site which I run is now getting 35GB of traffic a day and ever growing, which translates into over 1000GB of traffic a month.
It receives around 600 users per day straight to the site and 130,000 hits per day, which are off linked images and browsing.
I'm gonna have to put some limits on soon or increase advertisements it if it keeps growing at the rate it does.
I don't want to either put limits on the site or increase advertisements at all, I hate ADs and limits.
At least on the bright side its being doing relatively well, in profit ($100+ per month) and hasn't taken much effort.

Well done! If people are hotlinking your images you can always prevent that with a .htaccess file.
EDIT: Just saw your site was an image hosting website, so hotlinking clearly is not the problem.
Images do suck a lot of bandwidth sadly.

Thats the point of the site, image hosting, its just a pain that some images are using a lot of bandwidth, getting viewed a lot times.
For example one image on my site has been viewed 80,000 times and has used up 15GB of bandwidth over the past two weeks, an excessive amount.

I would just do ads. As annoying as they are, it's alot better than limits.
