    Hey there,
    If people hotlink my images, using them on my site, not linking them with a hyperlink - does this give my website any value? Maybe it does in google images?

    What do you think?

    Search engine are unable to view images and the portion of image they can read is the Alt tag. If the images has got your anchor text in their Alt tag, I believe you will get value for the image link.

    I doupt that the src tag would substitute the href tag so if I were you I would disable hotlinking.
