I read an article earlier this year (can't find it now) on C-net written by John Dvorak that said Google had been sued for hotlinking websites images (google images). Since then I have noticed that images traffic goes to my root index and I do make a few sales a month from that.

If you don't want to try and make some profit from the traffic, I'm pretty sure there is a way to stop the images bot from spidering your site using robots.txt.
