I have a blog that posts images from a lot of other sites, I basically hotlink the thumbnails (because I’m too lazy to upload them to blogger.com), with a link to the original… and most of my traffic now comes from Google Images. It sends people to my site instead of to the original. I didn’t even do that on purpose!

I’m guessing whichever page optimizes the images best gets the traffic, whether the images originate from that domain or not. Which makes no logical sense. But I’m not complaining…

I have noticed on most of my sites is that it takes a very long time for your images to show up within the google image searches. Anyone know any ways to speed this up?

Since the HTML tags didn’t come through, I’ll explain. Basically replace the p tag with an h1 tag. Reflect.

What about adding a header tag in the same logical block as the image?

For instance:

Keyword

I like the idea of redirecting the traffic

I’m currently working on images visibility (on my website - I’m professional photographer - 70% of my Google traffic is from Google Images, with an average number of 1000 visitors each day with 250 indexed images)

Are-you sure about metadata (IPTC) images consideration in Google Images ?… It’s an element I don’t take care at this day !

On the other hand, is the URL of the image file should be absolutly on the same domain ?…

Cordialy,

Cedric

Love this post. I used this technique on one of my sites - it hasn’t sent me any traffic yet… but funnily enough I am picking up long tail from Google search for a term on the site related to the content in the images.

I never know what the exact terms are going to be that bring in the traffic. It’s good to have content that is “semantically related” to a keyword rather than just bombarding your pages with the exact keyword itself.

I was wondering why I have some image traffic. If I will optimize all than I get even more traffic.
