Generating traffic from google image search, confused...

[MikeWike]

Hello,

I'm getting 400-500 visitors per day from google search images. I have only 3 pictures on my site with names "sexy women" and "girl in bed". Now I'm generating my main traffic from google image search, since my images come up pretty fast.

However, my main keyword is not girl in bed or sexy women and I'm ranking with my REAL keyword at #19 spot, so there is basically no traffic from google web search...

Now what I want to ask is that:

Can I get some benefit from the images, since they are ranking high in google image search? At the moment I'm running clickbank niche site, but maybe I should go for adsense then? because 400-500 visitors per day is kinda a great from image search...

Any suggestions would be great!

Some people use scripts for redirecting this traffic, but it is kind of black hat.

The easiest thing that you can do is watermark those images with your url, but I am not sure if this will do any good, especially from non targeted traffic.

Google images are very effective on generating traffic and ranking.But use it wisely.

I doubt that redirect is a black hat, maybe gray hat... Has somebody used redirect from google images?

The weird thing is that i'm ranking very very well with keywords, that are NOT in alt tags or images title. Maybe just some words in the content...

I know it's hard to convert traffic from google images, but yeah, it's very interesting...

You don't need to do a redirect on Google Images, all you have to do is break the Google frame, & yes I use this code on my Adsense sites + seo, & both work fine with the code.

All your doing with this code is breaking the frame on Google Images & forcing the traffic to land on your own page, instead of being able to go directly to the image from Google Images.

Try this: Google Image Redirect

hi,
the traffic that you are getting from Google Images is quite good. you can utilize this traffic buy offering them better content which will glue them to your website.

as you main keyword is #19 in Google, try to go for an on-page seo audit and then develop a quality back-linking strategy and implement it.

In my experience, Google Image Search traffic is all but useless. They want to see an image and nothing else. Even if you do get them onto your site somehow, they'll probably bounce straight off.
