How do I block all sites from linking to me?

[Supernatural]

What's the code to block any site from linking to my site?

Supernatural,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]!

Please take a look at this recent thread [webmasterworld.com] for some important information about the purpose of this forum.

Also, you may wish to re-post and include a little more detail about what you are trying to accomplish. We have many previous threads here about preventing hot-linking and blocking access to files on your server, but it's not clear what you are trying to accomplish. A correct answer to your question above could be anything from "It can't be done" to "Take the server offline" or anything in-between, depending on precisely what you mean.

Try sending a reverse tachyon beam back through the link, and it will destroy their linking mechanism.

That was supposed to be a joke worker? :¦

I know how to redirect sites seperately already through htaccess.

Anyway, I want to block ALL sites/domains from linking to my site unless I specify that I want one linking to me.

I get a alot of hotlinking off my site and am tired of wasting bandwidth so some yahoo can get a free pass.

You can't prevent people from linking to you.

I already know how to prevent them from linking to me individually. I just redirect them, so obviously it can be done.

I want to block all referrers coming from anywhere besides my site.

Edit:

I figured it out thanks.
