That’s the question I pose over at SEO Scoop for my latest guest post. You see, I’m a bit of an image thief (though not quite in a criminal manner). I like to “borrow” pics from Google Images to use in client presentations. Yet I don’t display the same type of loyalty to image providers as I do to standard web publishers. I steal and run. Never to bookmark and never to return. While I don’t expect my behaviour to be representative, I wonder what the real commercial value of traffic derived via image search actually is…

A picture speaks a thousand words so I haven’t gone into image marketing, but I would think that if your keywords are right that it would be very effective. In this fast paced world you have to catch ones eye fast if you want traffic. I would think that a image would do that well. Something to look into I guess.
We added more images to our website and made a concerted effort to optimize this area. This certainly has helped our traffic so I would say this is essential for any website.
