    Add the second line to your robots.txt file:

    
    User-agent: *
    [SIZE="4"]Disallow: /thedirectoryofmyimagefiles/[/SIZE]
    
    Code (markup):
    All of the image search engines will remove your images from their indexes.

    images in your web pages will also bring quality traffic from Google Image Search.

    I have set my robots.txt up so that Google's image bot is sent straight to the directory with all the images in it.

    Generally image traffic are really after your images, and is rare for them to move onto other pages of your site apart from where the image is, except if the content is compelling enough that they want to find out more

    Agreed.

    Very seldom do you see a whole lot of reliable traffic from Google images.
