I'm sure this has been thought of before, I'm interested in comments on how this would affect Joe Surfer, and whether sites such as TGPs would allow it on galleries.

The solution is simple - the HTML content page sets a cookie, and you use htaccess to only serve the image if that cookie is presented. If there is no cookie presented, you can redirect to an image showing the URL of the content page, or asking them to enable cookies...

The catch is that this will affect some surfers who are browsing the HTML page interactively as usual, but for some reason their browser does not accept cookies. However, other solutions such as only allowing ^$ and *mydomainname.com* will also not work for 100% of the surfers.

Would I get blacklisted at a typical TGP for doing this?
