Google Images, how long does it take to get indexed?

    Hi guys,

    I didn't realise until about 10 minutes ago that only 4 images on my site were indexed in google images. My site has over 4000!!! I realised quite soon that my robots.txt was blocking them from being found.
    I changed their location on my server, tweaked a few settings and now *hopefully* they are indexable.

    Any idea how long it'll be before they appear in google images? Also, should I expect anything in return from google seeing as my site has images now! Like increased traffic etc?

    Cheers guys, RJP1

    I don't think google images is anything like the regular indexes, in that it doesn't seem like they will index all of your images with any consistency anyways, you might wait years or some may never get used by google images

    Google will index normal images (with no direct links to the image file it self) in your site with in 1-3 months.
    Just give some time and you will be fine ;)
