Unwanted traffic from images.google.com

[harsh789]

Hi,

Since last few days am getting some unwanted traffic from referrer images.google.com. This is targeting set of url. It seems like those urls are registered on some automatic system and its generating unwanted page views.

Can anyone suggest something on this issue.

Thanks.

use http://www.google.com/webmasters/ . There is an option about image indexing for webmasters.

No, not hotlinking.

Its referring my urls using images.google.com as referrer. And it is targeting set of 10-15 urls. Moreover it is from different locations.

Image search can use tranfser up and not get anyone really looking at site. It goes both ways nice to have traffic but if traffic does not bother with site just looks at pictures and loads site to do it it is a waist of transfer.

You can also try taking any names in images out see if google drops image when name is gone.

I just remembered about the so called image trick someone posted on this forum. They copy your image from google and post it on thier site to get traffic. So every time thier page loads your image is loaded on your site.

Change name of images or drop names. If the image is not in google they will drop it.

I don't get it. All the images shown on google is hosted on their servers. If someone wants to click on the image then it will open your webpage in an iframe with the image on. If you get more than 1 page view on average per visit then that will mean the visitor as clicked of the landing page and visited other pages on your site.

you can block it from google webmaster tools and blocking with robots.txt is an option too
