I had a dream! Now is this new marketing idea possible?

I had a dream.

Lol, always wanted to start a thread like that and now I can.
Because last night I did.

I dreamed about Bings new search function visual search.
I have not used it yet since the page does not excist yet,
I just read an article about it a few days ago and did not
think to much about it at the time, but apparently it stuck
with me enough to have a dream.
(bings newly added feature: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/0...search-option/)

The dream in itself is not I cannot remember to clearly and
I think is not important. The dream only came so that I
got thinking about the idea behind visual search and how I
can use it.

So I started thinking today and came up with this concept
and would like to now if this is technically realizable.


Ok. Say I think about promoting a product. A real life product
like a computer products. And I would launch a site or blog about it.
But now instead of text it just has pictures, all pictures showing
computers, computer components, monitors, cables.

Every time you click on a specific picture, it would show up (in
web 2.0 style) new pictures focusing on the product you clicked.
On the side you would then have small pieces of explaining text,
and a your affiliate selling link.
(Visual Search Lab - Ide Inc.)

In the coding all the pictures would have proper alternative text.

Well that is the base of my idea now I would like to now if the search
engine like google or bing would show up my page if it hardly has any
text, but all pictures with alternative text.

Please let me hear your thoughts on this idea. Cause I think it's *******
brilliant.

    Dreams are great and so are new ideas. What you also need to ask is "If you build it will they come?" Even if all the techno side works, you need to establish whether there is a market.

    Well as stated in the article about Bing. They already did extensive research
    about how people process information. So based on that I would say there
    is a market. The market will lie in the keywords thus I ask if I would get
    search engine traffic purely on alternative text in the pictures?
