I have always denied hotlinking and never added any special rules to allow google or yahoo, but I have images that are indexed in images.google.com and images.yahoo.com. My thumbnails that appear on those sites are not hotlinked -they are hosted on google & yahoo's servers and each thumb links to the page that that it was taken from, much like a thumbnail tgp.
