Converting traffic from images?

    Anyone have any good ideas for converting traffic coming in from images traffic?

    I have a few sites and some are getting tons of Google Images traffic and others are getting referrals from other sites but the pages are primarily packed full of photos on various topics.

    I have some small adsense at the bottom (random mixed with affiliate banners) and also links to my affiliate store etc.

    Nothing is converting at all. They apparently come and look at the pics and leave. I understand the conversions will be lower, but getting thousands of hits per day and very little clicks on anything.

    Thanks.

    I would assume that most images bring in low quality traffic.

    Maybe you should be looking to get traffic for images that people might be looking for when they are about to buy. What keywords would people be looking for in Google images that would make them click?

    Traffic from images is of poor quality and does not convert. People are just looking for images, not necessarily information and are more likely to take a look at the pic and exit the site.

    With the sites i have now it isnt all coming from Google images but that is what they are coming for. So these are now links from forums etc that people are flocking to and then leaving. I need to make it more sticky. Thanks for the comments everyone. The thread will be helpful to others too I am sure.

    I am checking out imagespacemedia now so thanks.
