Any idea how they do this? |
Well, it's obviously some kind of redirect, my first guess would be an intentional redirect of images.google with htaccess, but it could be just a hotlinking protection that catches images.google. Which is one strategy for dealing with google images traffic, which can be hard to make sales from.
But, I'm just idly guessing at what they are doing, you'd have to get someone with more knowledge of redirecting to get a certain answer.
Redirecting is a strategy, but not my favorite one, for getting some cash out of images.google.
