How to Use Google Images to Get More Traffic

How do i get more traffic?

Webmasters all over the world are constantly trying to figure this one out.

Now, i can assure you there is no hidden secret. Getting traffic doesn’t come overnight, and unless your site is named myspace or youtube, it acquires some work.

So I decided to dedicate a special category to it and will post here regularly about different traffic sources. Today a more unknown one: Google Images

If you now how to use google image will bring traffic to your site or blog and even improve your search rankings.

So here’s how:

We are going to take as example the keyword ‘Internet Marketing’.

Let’s go to Google Images and do a search for it.

At this writing this image is ranked nr 1 for Internet Marketing.

internet marketing

So do not comy the image , just copy the image url and insert the url (and image) to your site/blog.

That’s it.

Next time someone is searching for internet marketing this site will be listed now in the Google results.

This may sound a little strange since you are using another sites url, but if you have linked to the ‘internet marketing’ image you will receive traffic and it will affect your search rankings.

However keep in mind that this will work best when the image and subject of your site/blog are related. For example if the image is of Paris Hilton, you’ll get a longer stay at your site/blog if you are also writing about her.

Important: take into consideration the copyright laws when using pictures and images. As stated in Google, images may be the subject of copyright.

To your succes and traffic,
