Kids are great, Appu. You can teach them to hate the things you hate and they practically raise themselves now-a-days, you know, with the internet and all

google and hotlink blocking

I've noticed in my logs that I get a fair amount of hits/requests for individual images from the google image search. I use htaccess to block hotlinking, so of course they just end up getting the red "x". Same with the google cached pages--text but no images. Anyone know if blocking google from linking my images affects how my sites are ranked? Also, any opinions on the relative merits vs. disadvantages to adding google to the "allowed to link to images" list in my htaccess file?

Thanks!
Lee
