I integrate Image optimization into my day to day SEO activity, and even though Image traffic never converts or even clicks adsense, I have found some great benefits of ranking well in Google.

I recently ranked "1" for a highly competitive image term... term is generic.
I used a public domain image, grabbed from the interwebs, and just optimized it routinely.

Guess what, My URL no longer rank for that Image. But the first rank is still the same image.. Only it is the original URL where I grabbed the Image from .. Hmmm... lol

Looks like a Manual intervention.. not sure.. :-)


I am gonna crop the image, mirror it and upload to the same url again. :-)

Funny though... Never seen something like that..
 


Hmmm... interesting. I am still waiting for Google to buy Tineye as their engine can recognise cropped/rotated/distorted images as being the same as the original.

Would be very surprised if this was manual intervention from the copyright owner or a Google employee. More likely a tweak to the algorithm, I would say.

I'm really curious how they do this, must be a mind-blowing algorithm.
Click to expand...

Doing it isn't too difficult. Doing it at a search engine scale is what makes it difficult.

Google can already identify simple crops.. I would think slightly warping it shoudl work.. Thatis what I am going to do now..

Just scale length to 101% keeping width to 100.. Skew a bit :)

PS: Its a Black an White image of a Hollywood actress. I would assume it is in public domain..
