Is Your Image Traffic Worth Anything To You?

[mikesinner]

I recently noticed that I have image traffic on a few blogs but I don't have a traffic tracking script on those site. What do you see your image traffic doing?

Does it even click through to your sponsors? Does it click through your toplist trades? Do you think it is completely worthless?

[supzdotcom]

not worthless at all.

I redirect that g image traffic to landing page with free/email sponsors.

AP i use htaccess code Kaktusan posted in one thread.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://images. [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/imagetraffic [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /imagetraffic.html [R=301,L]

change imagetraffic.html to any page you want your traffic to get redirected. (somebody reported it's not working on wp, working great for me on "none wp" sites)

What about a thumblogger site can you redirect it from there?

Has anyone had any success converting this on the original site?

[AbsolutePorn]

Not working on WP ? That sucks... what could cause this not to work?

[diablom]

image traffic ratio is worse than worst

you don't have htacces on thumblogger accounts, you could modify the "break out of frames" script to redirect to any url you want through javascript but I wouldn't know what twan (or google) would have to say about this

[Dupont]

yes it's pretty bad... but every blind squirrel, finds a nut

[Adriaan]

Yes I would rather have it, than NOT have it... Why do people get so anal on good ratios?

[rvince]

Please redirect all the google image traffic you don't want to:
(Huge Natural Tits Lovers)
(or (Babes With Live Strapons) if it's looking for shemale pictures)

Thank you in advance :-)

[mikesinner]

well maybe I will just keep it on my tb site. I don't run much bandwidth on it and it's mostly search terms for porn star names and I use it to promote AEBN. I was just wondering if I should keep working on the site.

[scoopyu]

Traffic is bad but i make some sales from image traffic

[hardcoreblogger]

i love my google image traffic

[Donkey]

Well in case you find it completely worthless, feel free to send it my way

[kaktusan]

well, yeah, it works well for me, so if you don't want to burn bandwidth, you can send it to me too

[fresh]

better than nothing anyway

Does it hurt your google images results? Gets your images removed from the search?
