Following up to my own question about blocking images with .htaccess, looking at my site's logs I realised that the Google URL matches ^http://.*limitless.co.*/.*paola/.*$ (Here's the full URL from Google accessing an image on my site: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=www.limitless.co.uk/~paola/wallpapers/1024x768/fruit-frac.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.limitless.co.uk/~paola/wallpapers/show.lml%3Fpic%3Dfruit-frac&h=768&w=1024&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dfruit%2Bwallpapers%26num%3D50%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff) I've therefore changed the http://.* to http://[^?]* so that accesses to images in URLs containing ? before our domain are also blocked. I also came across a 'more from this site' link on Google's image search and so found that one can display images from a single site in one page. For example, searching on evolt for pages/images (?) including the word 'evolt' finds 63 images: http://images.google.com/images?q=+site%3Aevolt.org+evolt I think that the forbid rule for evolt.org would be: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://[^?]*evolt.org/.*$ [NC] RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|gif)$ - [F] Paola
