Exploit Those Who Exploit Your Image Search Results

Ken's Blog

My last post showed how prominent blogs are stealing image search traffic from anguilla-beaches.com by using its Google-#1-ranked image of Jay-Z and Beyonce. This post offers options about how to respond...

• Fight it technically (through configuration in Apache, ugh). OR...
• Shame them by replacing the existing graphic (same file name) with one that says, "This site steals images from anguilla-beaches.com." OR...
• Use the vultures who prey on these high-ranked images to gain some free promotion.

Here's what we did...

Bloggers Exploit Google Image Search

Ken's Blog

My daughter has been using Site Build It! to grow her Web site about the Caribbean island of Anguilla for four years.  Now 18, she has averaged only 1-2 hours per week on Anguilla-Beaches.com.

She is found for over 12,000 keywords related to Anguilla and has one of the "Big 4" sites about Anguilla.  The site receives thousands of visitors per day and has the highest Alexa traffic ranking of any Anguilla-related site.

Besides traffic from "text search," she also has many first-page SERPs for Google Image search.  So she generates a ton of image search traffic, including searches for celebrities who visit the island.

But recently she had the misfortune for Google's image search for Jay-Z to put her site at Page 1, #1. Why "misfortune"?...
