    Hi guys,

    some time ago the pictures of my blog started appearing in the imagesearch of google, recently it has increased vastly, now bringing me about 50% of my visitors.
    These visitors hold only few value, as they seem to only stay very short time on my site, they don't click links on my site and probably only steal my pictures.

    I want to be found less by google imagesearch. What should I do?

    er...,google imageseach bring vistors to your site
    If you want to get vistors directly from google general SERP,than you can do some seo to your blog content

    On your robots.txt file (add one if you don't have one) you can specify not to crawl the image folders.

    You can change the name and alt text of the image to something that nobody searches for

    Sometimes these visitors are pretty useless because they don't care to explore the site, click on your ads or buy something. All they need is the picture...

    just let them be there, it will brign popularity to your site.. And if they search for pictures from your blog, they will maybe need the content too in the future and with that they will know your site and get back.
    Just let it be.
    And if you still don't want them, just alt the picture names to 320948.jpg and it will be ok. Reverse SEO :D

    i dont understand if you dont want to share your photos, then why upload them? dont put them up if you dont want to share. or make your site private
