A quite serious SEO thread (no tits inside just money)

I have a query I have been pondering for awhile. We all get google images traffic, and obviously we can't do anything but anti hotlink it, and put some domain name on it trying to entice typins. The problem is that we lose so much traffic doing this it is insane.

I have rewritten .jpg to be php based, so I could insert SQL queries into it to log hits. Does google have a way to read if we are doing this? To the browser and to the surfer it is an image, but I can execute commands using php.

Here's my point. Would it be possible to detect what is reading the file (google or a browser) and then use a refresh to send the surfer to a site? Or would this be a perfect little way to get sandboxed? Anyone tried, or want to try this?
