I first did one image and seen 20 views on the page I put the image. So then I did another image from the same google page of images only I copied it to another page on the same site. Now both pages with images from the same google page get nearly identical traffic (or so it seems). However it almost seems like this is phantom traffic reflecting the link to google via the image. Not sure that makes sense but so far I cannot see any benefit from this image. Maybe I'll try it on pages with adsense? Anyone else got results on this?
Well i think you are the second one to report the trick is working to me . I got a few adsense clicks .
Phantom traffic? Are you actually getting unique ips? I wonder how CPM ads would respond to this phantom traffic...
I don't know if I totally understand the trick? You just show the image on your site using the google address? That's it, or something else?
just got one unclear thing .. if i just copy the image to my site, would it work ? and if yes, WHEN ? after the page got re-indexed by google or just imediately ? also, what was there about google sitemap ? my site doesn't have google sitemap and i don't want to open up an account or do any other kind of signup/login things with google (or even visit their website at all because of my belief of them violating privacy). So .. would it work without doing anything in google sitemaps ? do i just put up the image and sit back and relax ? Thanks
Need some clarification on this. I have tried it and all that appears is the google link to the other sites pictures. All I did was copy and paste like the directions said. Not working.
use this tag: <img src ="http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:NKS2mHaITIS7MM:http://www.atpm.com/7.01/new-york-ii/images/nyc-04.jpg"/>
Nice the picture showed up on the site, just wondering if I did it right then? Guess we will see, huh! I'll report back with traffic results!
still, what will hapen if i don't do any google sitemaps ? would this still work ? any idea anyone please ? Thanks
Could You please give me the link so i can have a look where you placed it ?? Many people have followed the wrong process for this . Also make sure that the site got indexed by google image bots .
I think this will lead to a ban or penalty .. look at the following paragraph from google's terms. especially this part: You may not take the results from a Google search and reformat and display them, or mirror the Google home page or results pages on your Web site. i've found this paragraph when trying to open up a google sitemap account.
