most of my visits on one site are coming from google images?

OK... now THAT is traffic you do not want.
People are mostly just mooching images off your site, then leave. Effect: Traffic, nothing else.

Solution: Put a framekiller on your site, easy javascript snippet that kills the google top frame.

In the <HEAD>

Code: 
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function FB()
     {
     if (top !=self)
     top.location=self.location;
     } // -->
</script>

and later

Code: 
<body onload="FB()">

thanks, i am using joomla with jce img editor, has a built in right click guard.

i've never checked to see if it actually works.

thanks for the advice.

this is actually a shopping directory that is hand keyworded on the banners, that's why i was wondering about it. not really any pix there i was worried about.

too bad right clicks on banners don't count!!!
 
Actually, I am only concerned about the traffic AND esp. the untargeted traffic you're getting.

Basically, someone typing "coffee machine" in google images wants a pic of a coffee machine, NOT buy one.

The framekiller will, at least, give him a few seconds more on your site, Trying to get away (now that the top frame is gone) he might just click somewhere worthwhile.

Or even start browsing....

Here are some things you can do.

Remove a file type from Google indexing, use this in your robots.txt

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /*.gif$

You can prevent indexing of a directory, ie images like this

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /images

Or you can block the Google imagebot from your site completely by using

User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /
You can remove dynamically generated pages with

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /*?

Or only gif file

User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /*.gif$

You probably know this but the blocking right clicks will only stop the most naive users. For example if you use Firefox go to tools -> page info

You can also use .htaccess file to block hotlinking to a particular file type on your site. I don't have that info with me, but I can get it tonight if you are interested.

Hope this helps.
