What to do with Google images traffic?
i'm getting alot of hits from Google images that just eats up bandwidth. Is there a way to make some money off this traffic?
|
.htaccess and redirect to the sites main page
|
A lot of the bandwidth is just google hotlinking image on google rather than hits to your page so .htaccess may not help but there are smater people than I. Check your log file. You'll probably see hits direct to your image rather than a page.
|
i would like a nice simple answer to this problem too!

Just make a thumb TGP with top quality thumb previews and redirect all traffic there. I started few TGPs this way ;) There are also some other way how to monetize this traffic but it is my secret :)
|
I don't know much about this but I can say there is a way to block pictures etc that you don;t want people to see without visiting your sites...

I have the same problem...can you tell me the code? |
I use htaccess and redirect it to *******.
|
how much is much?
|
Seriously - delete/rename the image - theres fucking zero reason to give google a single fucking image for free when they display it in a fucking frame of their own.
Out of interest, does the page which your image is on (on your domain) rank anywhere for any terms? |
google images convert nicely
but my content is celeb so that could be a reason I have like 250,000 open thumbs so im all over google images

I hold a $8-10CPM on my image traffic that is 20 times the bandwidth cost or so, works for me. |

that's better than nothing and it doesn't eat so much bw if you redirect it. |

doesn't google images send some real traffic though? I know they show the preview of the pic but isn't their a link like "view this site" or something like that

I love google image traffic.

Because half of GFY is already using my htaccess code but I never get thanked :(
This will bust out of the google images frame... 1) create a file called googleimages.php in your root directory: <html><head><title>Loading Site...</title> <script language="Javascript"> <!-- if (top.location != location) top.location.href = 'http://<? print $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $url;?>'; //--> </script> </head> <body><center><a target=_top href="http://<? print $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] . $url; ?>">Click Here To Load The Site</a></center> </body></html> 2) add this to your .htaccess: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://images.google RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !googleimages.php RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*) RewriteRule /* /googleimages.php?url=%1 [R,L] |

Also: how does that eat up bandwith???? It links to your site!! |

It doesnt redirect it unless you make it, it just sends the person directly to your site without the google frame, instead of just to the picture. |
There is a very simple solution to this: Open the images in your picture editing program like photoshop and save it with a different compression rate. Than upload the image to your server. Google Image will see that the photo was changed in size and will suspend sending hits to you. It will take a week or two to be in effect and usually traffic will be much lower afterwards.
It's much safer than redirecting in my own experience as you will not raise red flags for getting banned on google .... just my experience. |

hmm.. I'm going to try that
|
Do I need to change the code at all because it does not seem to be working for me. Thanks for the tip :)
|
Just break the frame, put this between y're head tags
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"> <!-- Hide from old Browsers if (top != self) top.location.href = location.href; // Stop hiding from old browsers --> </SCRIPT> |

Fuzebox thank you very much for this tip

Wow, i'm glad that you guys brought this up. I've noticed a huge increase in google images hits this week, and it seems to be some automated scraping going on.
Check out these terms: 00:45 Google Search: fuck+ hot+ g 00:49 Google Search: le 00:52 Google Search: naked+ b 01:41 Google Search: gir 01:56 Google Search: wow+ women+ nak 02:13 Google Search: girls+ s WTF? Anyway, thanks a lot for the frame breaker, DomP_nl! |
Thank fuzebox finaly i will use that damn traffic :)
