    Question Improve Seach Image Results

    I'm not sure if this has been ever suggested but how about improving the search image engines such as Google? I've just noticed that I've receive a few results from Google Images search and I'm hoping if there is a way to improve this and earn more traffic while searching for an image by the other SEs. Is this even possible?

    In your Google Webmaster Account, did you enable the option for Enhanced Image searching? You will also need to allow guests to have access to view your images, of course.


    Enhanced Image Search

    Google now offers enhanced search for images contained in your site, including advanced labeling techniques for images hosted by Google. Learn more about how enhanced image search works.

    Nope not really. I never knew about that so you see it was disabled by default but I've enabled that feature on now. So thanks for notifying me about that.

    And why would I need the guests to have access to view my images? I have installed a hack already that would deny guests to view threads/images but it should still allow the search engine bots to view the threads and everything. Would that be alright here?

    Here's the hack that I'm talking about.

    That could be considered "cloaking" by search engines, and could get you penalized.
