You will be amazed at all the images that google stores in google images. I am not sure why they save the images but it must connect the image to the site where it first finds the photo. Take look and see if you see any of your photos. I assume the photos we use on active rain will also show up here. Krystal should have a bundle as I do. It very interesting to view photos in your area. I would use your own photos on your site because google is watching?   Google Images

Click on the photo and you can see where they were used. Anyone have a good idea of why google saves them?

Google's image crawler isn't quite as active as their regular crawler, I think I've only seen it come by the site for a couple day period about a month ago.  It looks like it picked up about 5k images from the site.

I noticed if you search on either "activerain" or "matt heaton" the image right in the center of the page is a trilobite.  I guess my SEO is working perfectly then ;)

Good question Eric,  I don't know why they save them.  Maybe to make it easier for people to steal them...

I looked through 20 pages of google images for joanne brown and didn't get to any of mine.  There are so many of us, and this has always been a nuisance when someone is looking me up on their database.  Does anyone with a very popular name know if this can be used to their advantage somehow?
