How to re-direct hotlinked image traffic?
Let's say there are some free sites or surfer forums that are linking directly to one of my images like http:// mydomain.com/images/image.jpg I would rather have that traffic be re-directed to the html page of my Wordpress blog that the particular hotlinked image is supposed to be displayed on, or perhaps to a different page of my site. What are the options to do this for one or two specific images and also perhaps for all such hotlinked images in general if I choose to do so. Any downside to doing this?

is the pic watermarked? i'd work it like that
if you redirect it, they might stop hotlinking it, then you have nothing |

If it was my own paysite's exclusive content of course it would be watermarked. But in this case on the blog the photos are sponsor content with either no watermark or the sponsor's watermark, not mine! So the hotlink isn't working for me at all in this case! If I could re-direct the image link to the post that the image resides in that would be ideal because it would appear to the end user following a link that says "Teen Lesbians" or whatever and they see the image they are expecting on my blog, and they see it in context with the title and text and with my links intact!

You can watermark the images or replace the hotlinked pics with different pics. Or provide the hotlinking code on your page that includes a link back to your site. . .but yeah you cant turn hotlinked images into code

I was reading online that maybe a 301 redirect for each specific hotlinked image path in my DirectAdmin interface would work, to re-direct traffic from domain.com.images/image1.jpg to domain.com or domain.com/post-name (where the image is supposed to be displayed). Of course than one has to find and re-direct each hotlinked image link manually.
I think a neat Wordpress plugin if it existed or could be created is one where all hotlinked image traffic like domain.com/images/image.jpg would be re-directed to the domain.com/post-name url where the image is supposed to be displayed. Anyone know if such a plugin exists or could be written?

That wouldnt force a page hotlinking your image (as in the image is part of the offending sites code) to redirect. It would just break the image on their end because the browser cant recognize it as an image.
