Hey guys,

I'm currently getting lot of traffic from google images from one of my sites, and very less from google.

The thing is, the traffic from google images it's 100% useless, and it's just wasting my bandwidth.

So....what can i do to stop ranking in google images? Do i have to set a " no follow" to images?
 


Have you tried turning the traffic into useful traffic? You could always use a frame breaking script?
 
What jeeta said, and
1. Also bandwidth is very cheap...
2. And however shitty, the income from that traffic far outweighs the bandwidth cost..
3. You may not have noticed but if you get good image traffic, people also hotlink to you a lot... sending you loads of link juice..
 
don't be a dick to google image users and just do your best to monetize, bandwidth costs nothing in this day and age

you're 100% wrong here bro.

You're missing valuable traffic. You need to watermark the URL of your website (opacity 5-10%) on the images being picked up.

You never know where your images will end up + good for long term traffic!

Damn. I have a site with an image that accidentally started ranking for a related term... it's brought me in about $30 / month in commissions so far.
