what are you using to prevent the TGPs google, yahoo, and bing from hotlinking and directing surfers straight to single images? Is there a plugin for wordpress to do this? And how would I do this in htaccess for non-wp sites?
-

If you're using Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin there's an option in permalink settings "Redirect attachment URL's to parent post URL. -
htaccess method
add
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp|zip|rar|mp3|flv|swf|xml|php|pn g|pdf|css)$ - [F]
where domain.com is replaced with your domain
can also be used for wp and non wp sites alike.Last edited by pinkz; 10-18-2013, 04:21 AM.$$$$ Video Secrets $$$$Comment

Approach the mirrored reflection saying his name three times : "Butcher .... Butcher .... Butcher ....."

it may be that bing is displaying your image from it's cache.
also here is a handy htaccess generator for stopping hotlinking

You were quoting pinkz.Slightly modified, but should be the exact same thing in terms of what it does I *think*

does the job with bing as far as the redirect, but not for google
What I posted works for both Bing and Google no problem..

magnetron, nope, that doesn't prevent hotlinking in google, nor does it redirect when clicking 'view image', just sends straight to the full size image url

Try clearing your cookies before checking your images in Google, cuz it does work.
And if it still doesn't work for you, I'm at a loss to explain why.Last edited by Magnetron; 10-18-2013, 05:38 PM..

I'm clicking on the 'view image' link in google, which is linked to the image url - that's what I want to redirect eg
http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&lr...&biw=-1&bih=-1
'view image' links to the direct image url (only clicking on the pic takes you to the original page) - I want to fuck off the ability for a surfer to get taken straight to the image only.Comment

Clear your Temporary Internet Files Folder and check again.

Does this affect google and bing as they crawl and index the images?Comment

Nope. It limits them to only showing their crappy snapshots of your full size images.
But if you don't clear out the full size images and page files that were cached during previous searches, they'll just end up being reloaded in your browser and the Hotlink Protection will appear to be an unsuccessful..

as bizarre as it sounds, I got it working by adding /index.php to my domain instead of leaving it at domain.com
redirect works fine now, thanks very much Magnetron

This may get your site penalized by Google. Read this: http://www.seroundtable.com/google-m...tch-17631.htmlComment

Search engines will only show surfers crappy thumbs of your images. When surfers try to access the full size versions, they are redirected to your page. Anyone hot linking your images can hijack your results, but you can still get surfers redirected to your site.
Best to turn off protection so all your images are properly indexed. Protection seems to hinder Google Bots, etc..

Yes, it absolutely will. There's a trade off you have to make here. If they're going to put your image in their search results, it's obviously not in their interest to put images that won't open up in their search results. They've also dealt with plenty of shenanigans in the past with cloaking, so even if you get away with some form now, know it's something they consider for your long term strategy. Cloaking of any sort is fucking tricky. They detect it all easily but it's really hard to predict. Redirecting to the page with the image on it was always a bad idea, but lots of people do it without that metric putting them over any tipping point. At the same time, the next update could change the weight of some other metric and all the sudden you're actually flagged and that's fucked.
I really think before anybody does this though, they should crunch numbers on their server logs. Hotlink protection is meant to keep some dickhead from embedding images in his site to leech your bandwidth. If you allow Google to hotlink, they're hosting your thumbnail so at least when you do use up some bandwidth it's a prequalified click. They're also providing a direct link to the image (which is already cached), but they're also giving a free link to your page. Calculate what you spend on bandwidth vs. dollars earned from that traffic if you really want to decide.
Now what I personally would just always do to keep the image search traffic but keep other dickheads from leeching
That returns a 403 (forbidden). You can do a 302 to a "no hotlinking" image, but 302 literally means "found" and is treated as a promise that the server is sending you to the requested content. I just wouldn't, because to the algorithm that's intentional deception.Code:RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yoursite\.com(/.*)*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !google\.

Just to be a little clearer, this was what I was talking about in my post with the 302 redirects. If you mean you want it to hit your page on the thumbnail click you just can't do that. There's always going to be a hotlink there. If you want the direct image link to redirect to the page with the image, it's easy to do assuming each image is associated with a single page, but you need server side code and it's both very very blackhat and very very detectable.Comment

The thumbs or the view image links.
In the case of some douche hijacking your image, the thumb will send surfers to his site while the view image links will still redirect surfers to your site.
Some hosting control panels like cPanel have a Hotlink Protection option. You add in only the sites you want to display your images ( including your own and don't forget to include your numerical address as well ) and turn it on. It automatically rewrites your .htaccess file with a code similar to what I posted. Turn it off, it restores your .htaccess to normal.
Otherwise, to do it manually - download your .htaccess file, save an original copy, rewrite the other. Upload the rewritten copy to activate HP. Upload the original copy when you want HP deactivated..

1- Why?
2- How are they giving out a free link? All I see is a search result link, same as what you'd get if you a did a web search and one of my sites was listed?
I'm not sure yet if I'll do this. Google threatening to penalize is getting to be less and less of a threat all the time since they are always decreasing affiliate's traffic anyway.Comment
