Google Images Trick? HELP!

Discussion in 'Google' started by t-nine, Aug 18, 2008.

    Ive been getting TONS of traffic from google images! Instead of letting people click see full size image, and see it; how do I make it so when they click see full size image, it redirects to the page itself (instead of just seeing the image in my post, they see my whole post).
    Ive seen this before, but Im unsure how to do it...

    Thanks for your help!

    I think you can change the image link to point to your desired page. When you make a post and put image in this post. Instead of giving the image URL in link, you can give the URL of that post. When someone will click on that image, he will be directed to your post, not to the actual image location.

    There is nothing wrong in this. You can use image links and it's not written anywhere that image links should only point to actual image location. Somtimes we see in many websites that click on the image below to do this, do that. It's not at all wrong :)

    Yeah, Its a mix of Hotlink Protection and some javascripts.
    Of course its ethical and not a blackhat method.
    You have full rights to protect your bandwidth.

    Hotlink protection is to stop bandwidth thieves. Google will still be able to grab the image.

    I wrote this one, what it does is break out of external frames but not frames on your own site -

    
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function handleError() {
    top.location.href = location.href
    }
    window.onerror = handleError;
    if (top.location != document.location) {
    	if (top.location.href) {
    		//do nothing
    	}
    }
    </script>
    
    Code (markup):

    There is a option in Cpanel to turn it on, right?

    But that is not his intention - he wants that traffic to see something other than what Google is intending to show them.

    Im using Wordpress.
    Well yes, because they just see the image and leave after 5s. The image will remain on the site, but I want them to see my content/text as well...

    This is an interesting question, is there an ethical way of accomplishing this?

    Cloak the image URL. Have the image but with a javascript redirect. Google does not read javascript.

    You can turn on image hotlinking protection in cPanel and set up a default image to say something like, "To view this image, visit www etc."

    Yeah. I think there is only really one answer the OP is looking for. An instant redirect.
