Image searches often make me curious. One often wonders how the surfers /use/
them. Do the surfers immediately 'dive' from the frameset onto the image in
isolation, using the option at the top? Do they read the content that
surrounds the image? Do they perform an image search, open 10 results in
different tabs and then just use everything as a 'selection gallery' (the
greedy way) where some candidates will have their tab closed before a glance
is even taken?
It appears as though many of referrals to images take people to my blog
archives, so I hope that they at least read it and maybe stick around
(bookmark/syndicate). A few people choose to HotLink, which gets flagged not
only in the stats, but also in services such as Technorati (they received
almost 10 million dollars in funding yesterday). This means that this could
actually earn me links. Other people provide attribution in the caption, but
they copy the images rather than HotLink. I don't mind that.
Best wishes,
Roy
