I'm trying to adjust my site:
1. stop Image Hot-links
2. block Googlebot-Image (because I do not want my images to be searchable)
3. allow Google's Instant Previews
I've tried this but the Instant Previews still do not show my images. (I really do not want to start blocking/allowing by user-agent.) Has anybody achieved it ?
.htaccess
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(favicon.ico)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !(mydomain.com|google.)
RewriteRule .(jpe?g|gif|png)$ - [F]
robots.txt
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /User-agent: *
Disallow: /phpcart/
