Google Change Image Search Interface?

google image search interface change any redirection solution.
Redirect Google Image Search Traffic To Wallpaper Site

 

Google tested a new image search interface and now it's been rolled out. It's the first desktop interface that drops the landing page and no longer loads the web pages that included the image results. The previous interfaces loaded these pages using iframes more like a courtesy to the third-party websites than to improve the user experience.

 

It really sucks! I mean it looks pretty but it's harder to get traffic from Google Images

 

With this new interface of Google image search it would be tough to get traffic from Google Images especially for image oriented websites.

 

Hello, Ray here from Germany. Here and in France we don't have the new Image search yet, most likely due to stronger copyright laws here and google tries a different solution.
However on my international website about video game related art the traffic sunk to around 70% now in the last 5 days from 3200 to 1250 yesterday.

My website is a non profit site, and the main feature were /are the artworks of course. The new image search more or less killed it though..i lost the motivation to work on it since i know that only relative few people are visiting it now.

Artists from the whole world made fan art related to games there, we created art projects which were in the news on big websites like kotaku or eventhubs..it was a great way to show that we gamers are not just the call of duty idiots but a lot of us interested in art too. But why continuing if nobody sees it and a big company like google is sooner or later earning money through ads with our art.

I added the disallow google image bot command to the robots txt. now but the over 25000 images are still on google, takes it just time till they are removed, and is only the disallow command needed to get the older images removed from the google search too? We rather have even less visitors than to help google. I recommend every webmaster to remove his images too

 

Looking nice. Now we can get more traffic via Google image search, if we do good image optimization.

 

Google is just killing sites totally dependant on image search. I have read over soooooo many forums and found the same situation everywhere.

Is google not violating copyrights by displaying someone else's work on their page?

 

Looks good
we can now get more traffic if we optemize

 

It looks very nice. I like it

 

I like the new interface, faster and better

 

Yes, google is violating copyrights a ton worldwide now.

There is a small but nice wordpress plugin named google break dance which redirects people who want to see a original size to your website instead of the black background and the image only

I wrote about it on the Protect Your Image website http://protect-your-image.com/a-small-solution-via-wordpress-plugin/ where i am sharing any solutions i find

Google Image Search changes were made in first place to let people run photostocks or other image services generate more traffic from organic search. As you can see there are now about 4 links to target's site from image search: image details, direct image link, link to the source site and to the page where its located.
