    IMO Google image results are beneficial to the person searching and Google. Dont think webmasters get much from it.

    Google image search is the easiest way to leech and steal copyrighted images.

    Some do, if your site is image-heavy. For instance, one of my site, which has a lot of images on it, just about doubled its traffic thanks to this recent update in Google Images. Now, whether these new visitors stop to check out the site (and hopefully click on an ad) is another matter. But even if they don't click, the benefits to the CPM campaigns are immediate.

    Image is just another entry point to your site, one pic lead to list of pics, which leads to text text leads further in your site and in the end you make money ;) I like that ;)

    because many topics has pictures as MUST so they really compliments the search; now we have 2 ways to rank well in google;)

    Actually, when Google calls your images, it shows your image as thumbnail at the top, but the page where the image resides in the bigger window underneath it, so yes, visitors DO see your page, but rather they stay or not I can't say. Here's the thing: if you have CPM ad banners in those pages, everytime Google sends you someone looking for an image, it counts as an impression. So yes, I think Google Image can be very beneficial.

    If it's not doing you any good you can remove the image, or change location, and Google Image won't pick it up until they update again, and that's going to be awhile. It always takes Google Image a while to update (anywhere from 4-5 months).

    I think I will keep it like this. They eat bandwidth, but not hurt me right now. When they saw my website, they might interested to visit.
