Hotlinking and SEO

I am trying to develop a script that encourages people to use anchor text when they use my images on thier site.

One question I have is can you can make it impossible to right cick on images (so that they cant be hot linked) but still indexed and crawlable by search engines? I wonder if anybody has found a solution for this problem.

 

You can make it impossible for people to right click your images using javascript, however people can still view your source and take your image if they want. The code in the document for displaying an image is still the same, however there is an added attribute 'onmousedown'. I'm pretty sure spiders will still crawl and index the image.

Here is the URL that show you how to setup the javascript:
javascript.internet.com/page-details/no-right-click-2.html

 

You can use Php to finish this job!!!
Contact me if you are interested .

 

Could the mouse down effect be set up on a page such as this:

I have figured out how to set it up the regular html page, but most people I assume click to the larger version then copy the image.

 

Or you can slice an image into pieces , like I did with my pic here:
www.softgroups.com/bogdan <--- see the example, view the code source

 

Yep, this is something like ringtones landing pages are doing.
But your pic is loading pretty slow
