How To Use Google Image To Increase Blog Traffic

How To Use Google Image To Increase Blog Traffic
soure:This article was originally written by vloghog

Google Image will bring traffic to your blog, if you know how to use it. This blog receives visitors who click on these images.


By following these steps, not only will you bring traffic to your blog but you will improve your Google search rank.


1. Go to Google Image


2. Type in a subject related to your blog post. For instance, for you're blogging about Alicia Keys, type in Alicia Keys.

3. Pick a picture featuring Keys (or whatever subject you decide).

4. Click on the image and then select see full-size image. It's in blue at the top of the page.

5. When the image is the ONLY thing on the screen, copy the url in the address bar. The image must take up the screen like this for this step to work.

6. At some point in your blog post, link to that image using the url you copied.

When someone searches for Alicia Keys using Google Image search, your blog will be listed as one of the sites using the image you chose.


Even though another blog or website is listed below the picture, if you have linked to the image, you will receive traffic. Look at this example when you type in AirPower at Google Image.

Linking through Google Image works best when the image and subject of your blog are in sync. For example, if the image is of Bill Gates, you'll get a longer stay at your blog if you're also writing about him.

Of course, you must take into consideration the copyright laws when linking to photos, wallpaper and images. As it states in Google Image, images may be subject to copyright.

Everybody wants blog traffic. You. Me. Them. To increase your blog traffic, you must use many methods. Google Image is one tool that can help you achieve your goals.

Web Hosting Provider

As many of you know, I run a few websites including this one from my dedicated server. It allows me to have my own domain name and not someone else like blogspot.com or something else. Occasionally, I shop around the various web hosts providers to see if I can find a cheaper price. I found a good site that does comparisons and reviews of the various vendors called Web Hosting Rating. The site is great because I know I will pick a high quality provider instead of some cheap provider that goes down all the time. Believe me I have some bad experience in the past for not researching on web hosting providers before I made my purchase. It is a very good idea to use Web Hosting Rating website to read up on reviews and research to protect yourself/business. In addition, Web Hosting Rating site has tons of beneficial articles that you can read as well. If you are in need of a new hosting provider, check out Web Hosting Rating website to find a cheap and reliable web hosting provider for your growing business. Read More...

Chrome: Google's New Web Browser

Google's new web browser: Chrome (beta)Google released the beta version of its new web browser today. It's called Chrome and you can download it here. Learn more about it here and here.

Certain features look interesting, like dynamic tabs, incognito mode and crash control. The safety features also appear to be quite impressive.

I'm really interested in the safety features, so I conducted a quick test with Chrome. I visited a site that I know contains malware to see if Chrome would stop me from visiting the URL (malware programs are particularly dangerous because they can infect your computer by simply visiting a URL.) Chrome performed well. It prevented me from visiting the URL, and offered a detailed explanation of the threat.

I can also report that Chrome is lightning fast: the application opens in a flash and browsing is effortless. This is based on my quick and dirty test. Who knows: it may slow down over time.

Chrome is only available for Windows XP and Vista. I'm going to take it for a more thorough test drive on my Windows XP machine later. I can't use it on my other machines since they run older versions of Windows.

If you decide to give it a try, feel free to post your comments here. Thanks! Read More...
