One of my sites was generating a ton of traffic all of the sudden because it got picked up as the #1 image in google for a celebrity name.

Well... now the same image registers, but it's being hotlinked by a blog. When I research further my url is being hotlinked by at least a few blogs.

If you want to steal my images, that's fine, they're not mine to begin with. But everyone knows not to f'ing hot link.

So, rather than delete the link entirely, I'd like to teach them a lesson by substituting with an objectionable picture. Which is where WickedFire comes in.

Please recommend your best objectionable- not obscene- picture. E.g. vomit is fine, nudity is a no for this site (though I know how much you all love and excuse to post more boobs).

I'll replace it under the hotlinked url and within 24 to 48 hours of google botting, voila! Revenge exacted.
 


Getting a high ranking pretty much means being in the spotlight. More people will comment on your words, more people will scrape your content, more people will steal you images and more people will find bugs on your software. Also, more spammers will target you, and more turkish teenagers will try to hack your site. More webmasters will report your incoming links, and more C&D letters will come your way.

Get over it.

You can leave it or delete it and upload a gay pic and name it the same as the one being hotlink. That what I use to do when I had a forum. bunch of noob took my sig hot link it. so I change it and put a gay porn pic.
 
why do YOU care what those asshats show on THEIR sites? Make it a s fucking rude as possible. Use a pic of Shoemoney and the goat. If you're gonna hit someone, hit them hard and fast, fuckwit.

You have no idea what happens when you have Greek tlds and Greek sites. Your sites are a hobby to them, my sites are a battle to be won for them and the epeen prize is more significant.

What am I talking about, we used to crash each other's IRC servers when I was 12 with warscripts... Nevermind.

You could also stop hotlinking with htaccess and send alternative image to all sites that hotlinks to your images.

Code: 
rewritecond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
# check that previous page exists

rewritecond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*)\.yourpage\.com/ [nc]
# if requesting page is some other than previous...

rewriterule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png|wbmp)$ http://www.yourpage.com/hotlink.gif [nc]
#...replace that picture to some other image.
 
First you make an image that says something like We at theirwebsite.com are low life douches and we steal images/bandwidth from others. Include a rude and disrespectful image as part of the image if you desire. Name it the same as the image(s) being linked.

Then do what monkeman said and use your htaccess file to prevent this. You can also use your htaccess file to send anyone hotlinking an alternate image. You can add lines to your htaccess to specify sites that are allowed to hotlink. You would need to do this if you link images on another site of yours or if you post any of the images on forums, etc.

This is what I use. If you use the google part you should block the google image crawler in your robots.txt file also. I don't use the jpe?g because all of my jpegs are named .jpg. You can block hotlinking to anyhitng you want, zip files, .doc, .cvs, etc.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} .*jpg$|.*gif$|.*png$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !mysite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !myothersite\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !google\. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !search\?q=cache [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F]

edit: If you use this and it looks like it isn't working clear your cache.
