Bing image - Now they also only hotlink to your images

so no page views

[zeus]

hmm incredible now Bing makes the same mistake as google, they only show the image not the site anymore, dont they get it, that sites with images have a lot of bandwidth to pay for so they are dependent on ads like CPM ads, they need real impressions, not just hotlinking.

this is placed instead of your page : Displaying this page may force you to leave Bing Images. Opening the page in a new window will prevent this.

On google a script worked to redirect to real page, but how to do this with bing any suggestions.

I wish I could figure out how to get Bing to stop indexing my images.

Seems there is no simple solution, like with Googlebot.

[zeus]

i have thought about all kind of solutions, but i cant figure it out, so i would recommend every one to block Bing image to save a lot of bandwidth.

How do you block Bing image

Block image directory in robots.txt? That's what I do on pictures I don't want to appear in images search.

To block image indexing in Google add this to your robts.txt file.
