First of all - Not all the images of my personal blog is appearing on Google images. Even after adding images attributes and description. Can anyone please suggest on how can I maximize my blog images on Google images. Moreover, where Can I see my readers traffic through Google Images.
One more thing you can do to get more exposure for your images is to get a Google Webmaster Tools account and add your site to "Google Image Labeler". It's in the "settings" tab. However, there is a downside to having your images high in Google's image search. You'll get a lot of traffic where all the person does is download your image. So you'll burn bandwith. You can see your image traffic from Google Analytics. It shows up as referral traffic from images.google...
Image Optimization is one of the best ways to get traffic from Images. You can track your incoming traffic from Google images by installing a tracking code from Google Analytics or StatCounter.
If you need to track the visits to your page, get started with google analytics and it will give you a detailed report on the site performance
Optimizing the images will work for you as 1. Name the images by keywords 2. Add keyword based alt text 3. use right extensions with images
As a side note, one thing that I noticed with images that any image displayed on any page will be contextually linked to that page even if the image is hosted on another domain. For example, I have images hosted on photobucket that appear on one of my sites and when my primary keyword is searched for using Google images, the page result is my site in, not photobucket. Likewise, whenever I conduct a search using the name of the image (which does not contain my primary term) my image also appears and is still linked to my site, not photobucket. In case #1 my image(s) begin at position 4. In case #2 above, my image(s) begin at position 1. Relevancy between both terms used to optimize at your site and the terms used to name your images also matter. So if you use the Google keyword tool using your primary term, and Google relates it to the term used in your image, even if different, then a relationship between the two is established helping you to rank for both terms/phrases. I can also confirm the statement made b freelistfool yregarding traffic, some images are very popular and one site I have gets 81% of its traffic from image searches, but has very few people actually interested in the content of the site - that really does suck for me.
