That is a great question ;-) What I found that did happen was the quality of the traffic was decent. I know when I search for a image, I usually grab it and go, but if the content catches my attention I stick around for a bit to see what it's all about. Did it convert to sales for me? It converted more sales I noticed than the normal when the traffic came pounding in. But to capitalize on the traffic I created a POPUNDER lead capture page on my blog so that for people who grab and go there will be a unblockable popunder offering them a free ebook or service. It works even better when the image is targeted to your offer. Just a simple little popunder lead capture page brought in much more blog subscribers and my newsletter subscribers leading to signups, sales and leads through autoresponder email. So, I would definitely say that it works without a doubt. If you don't create some type of popunder lead capture page or a image stamp aka watermark, then the traffic will be poor quality, it all depends on what you do to monetize this traffic.

I have to admit, when I'm searching for an image, I just want to grab the image and go. However, if the page loads fast enough, the visitor doesn't have to scroll through a mess of other stuff to find the image, and the content is actually interesting, they just might convert into sales. Even if they don't. If you're using exchanges, like BlogRush or Free-banners, then this junk traffic can still be used to generate targeted leads. Also, adding images to your blog posts can really spice up the appearance of the entries by breaking up big chunks of text and giving the readers points of reference to help them keep track of their place in large articles. Images are very useful, we should all use them (I really should use them more often). Terrance, you've done a great job explaining how something we should be doing for our readers anyhow can drastically increase traffic to our blogs. Well done.

Good to find a post that verbalises this. I'll work on adding descriptive images to more of my posts now.

Having a link around the image with the alt tag works great. Having all titles / alts / file names with the post slug seems to get the image in Google images too.
