    Hi,

    My website have suffered a serious traffic decrease during the last 3 months. I have checked throughout the data from Google Analytics and found the site has lost 98% of the traffic from Google image search while traffic from other sources are increasing normally.

    It's a travel theme site and had benefit a lot from Google image search (about 20% of the whole traffic). It have not been added any large-scale modification from this March. Also I'm sure that I have not done anything might break Google's seo standard. But I am really confused when I saw a sudden drop on the chart of image search on May 6th. From then on the image search bring my site 2-3 visits per day while earlier 120 visits per day in average.

    It's highly appreciated if some one could tell me what happened to Google's image search. Thank you.

    I wouldn't really know for sure at this moment, well it might be because Google has changed their image search interface? Hrmm.. will have a look on this matter.

    I have seen Google changed their image search in both user interface and algorithm a few days lately, around July 28, 2010 may be. I have also found their image search is worse than the last one from user perspective. I do not understand why they have removed the name and url of the image in image search result display.
