Google Image Search Brings In Traffic Too

The concept of image search is very simple and is something that any website can do if they have some good quality photos or images that you could tag or provide a relevant keyword that effectively describes the image and relates it to your websites content.

Google has a web search tool that you can search on the web for images related to the keyword you type in on the google search bar. And if you have a few websites, blogs or webpages that has images on it, then if you tag these correctly, these will show up somewhere within the image search results.

So for an example if I did a search for my name Wayne Tully it would come up with the image below, which features some of my drawings and the many photos related to me and even other people called Wayne Tully, but since I've been quite active on the internet, most of my images are at the top of the search results for the keyword name Wayne Tully which sounds quite nice, but this is very low in searches and perhaps non existent, because Wayne Tully may not be a well searched name (Yet!!)

Other well respected sites that you can tag your photos and images are recommended so that you can gather a little bit more traffic to your websites, places like Flickr, Shareapic and are some of the widest used by many webmasters to gather traffic from the other search engines such as Yahoo and MSN aswell as Google.

But anywhere on the internet where you add your images, is a plus in the search engines eyes and this can be a good thing for the traffic of your website. Images provide a visual window into your websites or blogs and they provide credibility that backs up a relevant photo that corresponds to your website content.

Images work best placed within your content that illustrate something that goes with the written content, tutorials and other how to step by step articles all benefit from relevant images being a part of the article content.

By saving your own files on your computer with a good relevant keyword is the best thing that you can do, so that when the time comes to uploading your image or sets of images to whatever computer application that accepts them, it does help to have the image easily locatable with the right tagged keyword.

This will make your image searchable from the search engines.

The same thing applies to that of the written content, by adding the keywords of the best keywords which could be the way to go and is actually an add on to web search aswell as image search.

Google are expanding their capabilities with search and more recently have started the interest based advertising and search, which is just another name for more targeted results in the search engines through the many secretive ways of Google.
