Me think image traffic from Google/Altavista stinks! - GoFuckYourself.com

Yea, received about 50K of that traffic... You know, the image search functions from Google and Altavista among others.
One lousy sell! One good niche only.
That wonders me a bit

50K come on... The images are from galleries.. They get framed by the image search function, so the surfer see the gallery as well. I'd expect more from 50K pure google image traffic.

But I was wrong for sure!

Paul90 · 07-02-2004, 04:03 PM

we get about 5k a day from google image search.....and we convert it...depends on where you send it...

Doctor Dre · 07-02-2004, 04:05 PM

Redirect it to a popup hell with dialers

Jonathan Quarkschowski · 07-02-2004, 04:27 PM

Redirect it to a fake searchengine, serving google adsense.

hmm, I didnt think that Image-search traffic was that bad.

Mike Okitch · 07-02-2004, 04:39 PM

Why would image search traffic be worse than TGP traffic?

whee · 07-03-2004, 04:09 AM

But.. If it's redirected... wont it just stop flowing in... Wouldnt google image bot ban the domains quickly...
Or?

what do you have to loose? You can't convert the traffic for shit now.. do it

Vitasoy · 07-03-2004, 04:34 AM

Altavista used to be good, and was very easy to get listed... those were the days.

... Because... my particular domains are listed quite ok in those two SE's for certain keywords... Would hate to see 'em banned... Thats why.

But still! It makes me wonder...

I send out about 70k clicks a month of that stuff. Makes around $2-300. It may be worth more if I did something with it, but I'm happy just the same. It's "found money" to me.

yeah it sucks

iwantchixx · 07-03-2004, 02:54 PM

it sucks does it? Bull.

I have been using a certain sponsor for about a half year pushing freesites and galleries for it until i finaly gave up on them due to 1:10000 covnersions. Now a year later because of google image traffic I am getting checks from them every week. Go figure.
