Google have a good set of howtos to tell google how to index your site called webmaster 101
this code in your .htaccess file redirects external sites accessing images
<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?MYSITE\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpg [L] The <file></file> block prevents anyone reading your .htaccess file
the second block protects images being accessed from offsite
