Does google have any unique picture detecter? Is it worth google time to devalue websites that use images that are found else where.......

or considered that pictures are used and copied and pasted so many times that google doesn't really even care? what are your thoughts?

Thanks...

So, you are telling me that you have copied from Google for a keyword and now you want to rank for the keyword. I would say a NO if you don't make change to the image, like changing its pixels and etc. But do see if you can use it otherwise you and your blog would suffer a lot.

Legoog,

Apparently Google has gotten much better at identifying duplicate images in recent years. Remember that google needs to have text to crawl to it identifies duplicate images by file name. When it get images that are duplicates, it filers them in search.

More info here,

Beware: Google Getting Even Better at Identifying Duplicate Images · SearchEngineNews.com

and here,

Search by Image ? Inside Search ? Google

Hope that helps,

Shawn

  Who gives a flying leap about unique pictures?
  
  Where do you people get this stuff from?
  
  It would only matter if google wants to keep
  ITS OWN image results from showing too many
  of the same thing. But, sadly, that aint gonna
  happen either. Everybody uses a lot of the same
  basic images. So what?
  
  I cannot even fathom what kind of reason or penalty
  you have in mind?
  
  Man, everyone from ebay to amazon would be shaking in
  their boots. Nobody would buy from stock photo sites,
  like getty. Nobody would use the same image one every
  page like the WF. Nobody would ever publish a reuter
  story, complete with photo...
  
  I cannot even begin to wonder how you people come up
  with this stuff to worry about.
  
  So, if I name the same pic different than anyone else,
  I'm okay? Holy friggin's cow!

  Detecting identical images is as simple as verifying the checksum. If you want to post an already indexed image you could open the image in paint and trim a few pixels off each side. That would at least prevent exact duplicate detection.

NO but if you ever copied or used the other picture you should give some credits to it. or you can inform the owner that you are going to used his images.

If you want to link to and/or host an image that you find from google search, you can use 'advanced options', and filter 'free to use, even commercially' if you are afraid of copyrights. The very fact google has that as a filter option means, to me, they basically could care less. They care more about quality content, and even that can be copied (syndicated) without them raising a fuss about it.

It would be better to save the picture on your desktop then upload on your site, with relevant name, your site url would also be attached with that picture, you have already replaced the name, so there is no worry of this, it would look unique to google.

  It doesn't care that much about any duplicate content outside of same site content...it has a very limited reach on comparing text.
  
  Thanks
