I know I have written about the Power of Images before but, just to emphasise the point, on one of my celebrity blogs I have now had over a quarter of a million Google Image referrals in the 336 days since I started this particular blog. And, of course, this was starting from blank.As you will see from the stats on the left Google Images have now overtaken the standard Google as my top search engine referrals.
The stats also show the power of Google when compared to the other search engines. Though Yahoo, for example, pulls in about 20 hits a day this is a very small percentage when compared to Google's combined totals.
The other thing that this stresses, of course, is how reliant the blog is on Google for search engine referrals. I hope I don't inadvertently fall out with them in any way!
You may recall in my post Be Careful Of The Search Engine Censors I have had a problem in this direction previously - and through no fault of my own.
The message from all of this must be:
(1) to use images whenever possible and
(2) always look for alternative ways to gain traffic.
Good luck,
Mike.
