    My visitors from Google Images around 10% of the total unique visitors.
    What you really have to do if your sites have a picture, then please label it nicely with description.

    Like me, I manage to do it in blog.
    "alt" command.

    People do search using google image too. If you label it nicely then I am very sure that you will get visitors

    Alt tag, and the text around the image are both factors.
    But bear in mind that people doing an image search are rarely interested in the page, let alone the site that the image came from, they just look at the picture.

    There are ways to prevent someone from looking at your images without viewing within the page context. Unfortunately, I don't know what they are. A cross-post to one of the techie forums might help with this, if you need it.

    Google will host your images on your Blogspot blog. It has been a major source of traffic to my Blogspot blogs. If you have a topic that people are searching images for that will help bring traffic to your site.

    Use this with wordpress
    http://www.g-loaded.eu/2006/01/05/break-out-of-frames-wordpress-plugin/

    It breaks your site out of the Google image frame and gets the visitor to your page.

    Explained more here..

    Hope this helps!

    Alt tag plus descriptions, the descriptions really work well.
