A few years ago I used to run two popular 3gp video blogs. These two blogs used to have around the same number of backlinks in various search engines. It was me in charge of seo so I just did pretty much the same thing for both. What really surprised me a few months later is that one of
the blogs started to receive traffic from Google images. Over 30,000 monthly unique visitors to be precise. Why? Because that particular blog had a different format. I have tested the same layout a number of times and it always worked a treat. Shall i give it a try here on my blog? (My keyword will be seo) First of all I need an image called seo.jpg. I then upload it to any folder I want. I then stick this images in my blog post so that it is nicely surrounded by text with a decent keyword density and change the alt tag to seo. That’s it! I should be ranking quite well within a month or two.
Other tricks that can help:
1) Linking back to your image with appropriate anchor. For example seo (Not really needed)
2) Opt-in for enhanced Google image search.
When you start receiving traffic from Google images you might want to redirect it to your landing page. You can use something like this in your htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://images\.google\.com/imgres
RewriteRule ^Folder/upload/[^.]+\.jpg$ http://yoursite.com/Folder/page.cgi [R=301,L]
