  • Image Title tags: Same as alt tags. Simplify usage of good alt tags and title tags with Friendly images plugin for wordpress
  • Size of the image: Larger images have a better chance of succedding
  • Text around the image: Make sure to include keywords in the text sorrounding the image
  • Title tag, meta tags, header tags, and the relevancy of the content on the page
  • Make sure to use google image labeler to label your images

    • Image search results do not monetize well since google shows the results in an iframe. Solve that problem by adding the following code to your page. Now when a person clicks on a image search result, he will directly come to your site like normal search.


    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    if (top.location != self.location) top.location.replace(self.location);
    </script>
