Google loves my Images more than my Pages

    Is anyone else currently getting more referrals from Google Images than Google's regular self?

    Referrals from Search Engines

    Here is what I used to have as stats back in March 2005:
    Google................. 3846 .... 34.8 %
    Yahoo................. 3274 .... 29.6 %
    MSN.................... 2025 .... 18.3 %
    Google (Images).... 1161 .... 10.5 %



    Now I have this:
    Google (Images).... 18175 .... 67.4 %
    Yahoo ................. 5025 .... 18.6 %
    MSN.................... 2501 .... 9.2 %
    Google ................. 383 .... 1.4 %


    I feel a little used. :eek:

    The months of April and May are transitions from March to June. There weren't any drastic changes, but my rankings have just gradually gone down and away for web search, but up and away for image searches. :confused:

    Maybe people are just using Google Images more now then they did before?

    Anyone else see this happening with any of their sites?

    Not as extreme but to an extent, yes, I see that happen too.

    They don't convert at all though so I was thinking of booting google image crawler out.

    I agree that they don't convert, but I find that other sites seem to post/hotlink your image on their site. So we figured if we put our website address on the image we'd get a little more exposure that way.

    It's not the best, but it does seem to help. As we can see from our CJ reports.

    it does seem to be far easier to get an image on page one that it does a site.
