Some one use images loaded on my server to their post. I use below code to protect Images from Bandwidth Theft. RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://articles2u.com [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.articles2u.com [NC] RewriteRule .*.(gif|jpeg|jpg|swf|png)$ - [NC,F] I want to display all images on google image SE. It create any problem on google image SE.
I tried to find out about this a while ago but couldn't get a clear answer. If you want to be safe you can just allow Google images to hotlink. My .htaccess looks like this: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mysite.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mysite.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mysite.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mysite.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://images.google.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://images.google.com$ [NC] RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]
