Montezing Google Image traffic

by Freeman77
6 replies
I have a website that sells a virtual product, and it gets Google Image Search traffic because one particular image of a pretty girl. However, the audience probably won't be interested in the rest of the content of my site, as it's rather niche.

The people who end up there just want to see the picture of a pretty girl. As this traffic is pretty substantial enough (100+ visitors a day), is there any way to monetize that traffic?

    The best way would be to capture the traffic and funnel it into a mailing list.

    Something like "... you want more of this .... subscribe free".

    Then you can experiment with the subscribers and figure out what they want to buy.

    Maybe a subscription to a magazine, maybe some book or ebook about dating, or you can send them offers from dating sites.

      Put a gallery on the site that requires download of a game or something.

    Offer them a mailing list, so that they can see more pictures of her. Then sell them her portfolio in an ebook. Granted, you would have to go back to the stock photo place to buy rights on all her pics, but that is a small price to pay....

    In general if you feel that the image of a pretty girl is bringing you all this traffic than I'd think a dating offer of some sort may convert decently.. I realize with a niche site this may be a crappy thing to advertise but if your visitors are only interested in pictures of women then dating is probably something that should convert... As stated above I would try to capture an email list.. then maybe you can hit the list with dating offers? That way you could always split test against other generally converting stuff (like email/zip submits)

      The site is actually a sales page for an ebook I wrote, and it generates a few hundred a month from ebook sales, so I don't want to mess with putting up ads. Maybe there is a script that can redirect Google Image visitors to a dating offer...

    If you have php skills, you can also determine whether people are coming from Google Images and only present the dating offers and porn offers to the guys who are clicking through on her picture.

    Everyone else could get the G-rated advertisements.
