Using .htaccess to Prevent Images Hotlinking & Saving your Web Hosting Bandwidth

Did you ever noticed that your images are being hotlinked on someone else’s server and consuming your server bandwidth? This is actually is direct linking to a web site’s files (images, video, etc.).without your permission.

It is bad, as it not only stealing our images, it also take advantage of our bandwidths. Since web hosts charge based on the amount of data transferred, bandwidth is an issue.

Hotlinking should be stopped because others undesirable consequences like switcheroo can often occur.

Using control over.htaccess is one of the most efficient way to prevent image hotlinking. Go through the following steps:

Creating & Placing .htaccess in Root (main) directory

Simply open a notepad & save it as .htaccess without any extension behind. If already have the .htaccess uploaded to your server, simply edit it like in step 2.

Editing .htaccess File

Paste the following code in the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yoursite2.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ http://yoursite.com/other_image.jpe[NC,R,L]

Note: In Last line of the above code the image other_image.jpg is not hotlink protected or your server can go into an endless loop.

In the above code yoursite2.com can used be stop hotlinking from specific outside domains only, such as myspace.com, blogger.com and livejournal.com

If you want to display 403 Forbidden error on hotlinking simply paste the following code instead of the code shown above.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yoursite.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yoursite2.com [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ - [F]

Remember, Hotlinked images can only be replaced by other images, not with an HTML page.

Using .htaccess to prevent hotlinking helps you block some legitimate traffic using these techniques.

How to Avail WordPress Ping Facility to get Max Exposure and Inbound Links

In my last post, We have just seen how to update all those popular & most used search engines in one click, about blog updates using Ping-o-Matic.

For WordPress user, updating & notifying different services & search engines becomes more easy as wordpress as integrated Update Services Feature.

Update Services are tools you can use to let other people know you’ve updated your blog. WordPress automatically notifies popular Update Services that you’ve updated your blog by sending a XML-RPC ping each time you create or update a post.

In turn, Update Services process the ping and updates their proprietary indices with your update. Now people browsing sites like Technorati or Sphere can find your most recent posts!

We’ve really enjoyed writing these posts up and plan to keep on churning them out.  One thing we’ve missed though is discussion & link love. Blogs are great for a lot of reasons, but perhaps the best reason is the fact that you can comment on posts with your own ideas, get link love and get into conversations with other readers.  In doing so, you can get new ideas, offer your own expertise, and make new connections in the process! It’s a win-win scenario for everybody.


So to foster some more discussion, project writing & link love on this blog, we’re going to run a contest.

The Contest

The objective of this contest is to collect some Best Search Engine Optimization Techniques to allow people to discover, interact & help  new bloggers and to share the link love.

Topic of Post: Search Engine Optimization Techniques

Rules to Participate:

  1. Write a post on your blog about only ONE Search Engine Optimization Technique that you think, is needed for search engine optimization.

  2. Send us an email using the Contact form (below this post)with your name, post title and permalink of the post.
  3. Make a Comment below to enter the contest (**Do not write your post link in the comment.)
  4. After We publish the final list of selected entries you write a post on your blog linking to all of them.

In order to avoid some selfish participants would receive backlinks and not link to other people rule number 3 will ensure that every participant agrees to link to every other participant.

The mathematics behind it is pretty simple, if 50 people participate in this contest you will write a post linking to 49 people (according to rule 3)and in exchange you will receive 49 quality backlinks as link love.

So, As a prize if 50 participants are selected then each one will get 49 quality backlinks as link love.
