Will Google stop indexing my images if I block hotlinking? - GoFuckYourself.com

I am getting far too many spammers using my blog images and I am going to block hotlinking, I got an idea about how to edit the .htaccess file to stop hotlinking but I am worried that may also stop Google from indexing the images.

Anyone knows if that is the case?

you can allow google, bing and yahoo and block the rest.

i agree with that

malcarada · 11-16-2009, 04:36 AM

How do you do that? Can I have your .htaccess code?

Yes, you can allow them and block the rest ... I did this at my virtual hosting with one-click and have no problems with Google ...
