How to stop these parasites from hotlinking?
 

After checking the backlinks of one of our sites I noticed an increasing large number of them coming from some low quality parasites.

They hotlink images from us and we don't seem to be able to stop this. The problem we're facing is that it hurts our Google image search rankings. In fact, when I put our site name's into google image search, a whole bunch of spammy sites pop up instead of the original source.

Examples of these sites: pornlicias[dot]com, nopeporn[dot]com, nopeporno[dot]com

We tried to disable hotlinking through cpanel, block individual sites through htaccess, as well blocking through WP Security. The images keep showing on these sites even after taking these individual steps.

Any suggestions how we can block these sites or how they even do this?

I don't see anywhere on those sites that you listed, where they are hotlinking jpg's from anywhere than from their own sites.

Can you be more specific and list the page, and which images are being hotlinked ??

:helpme

Well, those sites are filled with thumbnails that lead to their original sources and they even offer the option to download them. Aren't these thumbnails being served by hotlinking?

For instance: pornlicias[dot]com/porn/asian-porn[dot]html

I can't post the full code as I haven't reached 30 posts yet. But below the code you posted, there is a jpg link that leads to its original source.

If they aren't hotlinking, is there a way to stop these thumbnails from showing? They basically grab images from other sites along with their title and alt tag, and get ranked ahead of the original source in google image search.

what is your domain, that way I can search their source to see if they are pulling from you? if you don't want to post it here, then email me tim -at- tfcash.com :)

You should go into one of the thousands of idiotic political/racial posts and make some quick post to get yourself up to 30 posts :2 cents:

This seems to be the new " normal" ...I put my key phrases to Google and get about 10 tubes with my content and only after them comes my site...it moves me (depending "on the day") from p.1 to p.2... :2 cents:
