The hidden hit machine in Google

There are thousands of articles on SEO and website development for Google. In fact, there are many of them in this blog. But there is a hit machine hidden in Google that very few people exploit to generate web page hits ... and I mean THOUSANDS of hits every day.

What is this hidden hit machine? Google images.

Google image search allows Internet browsers to search for specific images (based on alt text and file names ... so do your SEO here). Google Images allows you to search a specific category and one of these categories may well be powered by actual image recognition (as opposed to textual keyword analysis). Right now, the available modes are the following:

1. show everything (the default old search)
2. show faces
3. show news images

In addition, Google Web search now puts image results at the top of the page (don't know what I mean? Go to Google and search for "birthday". What's at the top of the page? "Goolge Image results for Birthday".)

What does this mean to you, the Affiliate Marketer? Put pictures of your products and service logos on your page. Name the files correctly and insert your ALT tabs. If someone does a Google search on your product name or general service names, you might not be in the top ten, but if your image is, it will appear at the TOP of the Google search results ...

... And that can mean thousands of hits a day!
