RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .
#THIS WILL ALLOW GOOGLE
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !google\.com [NC]
#THIS WILL ALLOW YOUR DOMAIN
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpe?g|gif|png|bmp)$ - [NC,F]
#OPTIONAL REDIRECT TO A DIFF PAGE
#RewriteRule (.*) /no_hotlinking.php?/$1 [R,NC,L]
