Google images htaccess redirect code not working, help please!

[polle54]

Hi coders

I have a slight issues.

I can't get my Image Redirect Script to function after Google changed the images URL.

What is wrong with this code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^google\.com/imgres [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://xxxtremeblog.com/redir/extremesponsor.php [NC,L]

Trying to make it work on a referrer that looks like this:
http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...26tbs%3Disch:1

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://google.com/images [NC] 
RewriteRule .* http://xxxtremeblog.com/redir/extremesponsor.php [NC,L]

for google images it should be like this.

but remember its only for .com, you will need to do some regex to get all google domains incase they come from google.ru etc.

[fris]

here you go.

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*google\.(com¦(co\.)?[a-z]{2})/(imgres¦search) [NC]
RewriteRule .* http://xxxtremeblog.com/redir/extremesponsor.php [NC,L]

Hi fris, thanks a million, its a step forward, this code, however, redirects everything. both google, google images and direct URL, any suggestions ?

Try changing .*google to .*images\.google

sorry remove the search part.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*google\.(com¦(co\.)?[a-z]{2})/(imgres¦images) [NC]

Try changing .*google to .*images\.google

google doesnt use images.google.com anymore.

google doesnt use images.google.com anymore.

Hmmm interesting. I can't find images.google.com, but I can find images.google.* in other country level domains (eg images.google.hk, images.google.ca)

[fris]

ya but when you goto google images in those countries it doesnt use that url

Thanks again, just tried

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^[url]http://.*google\.(com¦(co\.)?[/url][a-z]{2})/(imgres¦images) [NC]

but that code still redirects everything.

Now it doesn't redirect anything... I wonder if it is something on my machine.. it is a WIN 2k08 R2 server with IIS 7.5..

So not a regular setup, but still with a htaccess file.

[fris]

ya never used IIS, would have to look into it more, plus ive never really redirected google image traffic.

I found those country level domains in my referer logs, so G is still using them for image searches.

You're probably going to want/need something formatted for IIRF; I have no idea what you're using for a rewrite system, and I don't do IIS either, so -
