New Google Images And Traffic

We know google released new image search interface on 24 jan. So what happened now what will do wallpapers sites and other sites. The Image searching giving more traffic to websites but now all images sites traffic dropped about %25. Did you effected with this new google image interface. And What will we do with this? Can We use redirection codes for this new interface?

 

Yes, traffic dropped for me too. There's nothing you can really do about it.

 

Yes. most of images site are unable to see their traffic only bcoz of the software that was used by Google for latest Image Search results..
We are getting traffic to sites, but not get visible in GA...!
Better solutions is to add some tracks to find the Image Clicks

 

maybe in future google dont send content traffic to our site they will say we have google content search dont need go another sites

 

LOL... if it like soo,,, there is no more GOogle

 

i Hope it is added advantage for both Image and Content web sites. web world fly with more and more technologies, the image search also is healthy one and images search is also a essential for all.

Thanks

Wow. Google uses your image without anyone having to visit your site. They are no better than a scraper site.

 

Hi to all It is a very problem for me, my site is decreasing of 60 % visitors.
What Can I do ?
All my traffic is decreasing. I am thinking to close the site and also not pay more workers.
What sense has this step ?
I ask all to do a request to Google to reput all as was before.
Thanks to all

 

I receive a lot of traffic from image search, but nothing converts. So, it's better for me if that traffic goes down.

 

A couple of things to consider:

1) Is the loss in traffic to do with the changes in Google Images layout or your ranking in Google images? (Did anyone check if that has changed?)
2) Did this traffic even convert?

I've noticed a slight decline in Google Images traffic, but (unfortunately) haven't been tracking my rank. Importantly, what I did notice though is my revenue hasn't declined.

 

so this was the problem , damm my traffic is down by 50% or more
I was thinking I had got a penalty

 

I found a solution for it.
if some one clicks on your image on google search result and choose to view original image then he will be redirected to the page which contains that image.

Step 1 add these lines in your .htaccess (replace yourdoamin )

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} .*jpg$|.*gif$|.*png$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /image.php


---------------step 2------------------
make a new file image.php and add these lines


<?php
$referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$parsed = parse_url( $referrer, PHP_URL_QUERY );
parse_str( $parsed, $query );
$url = $query['imgrefurl'];
header( "Location:$url" ) ;
?>

 

this is a great solution about google image search

 

anyone try this and is it a penalty o not?

 

i tried it but no rediection

 

I have tested it on my 2 websites, it is working
