Eric Schechter I am stealing your name.

Google Eric Schechter and you will see 2 photos of me from Google image search above the listing for his blog.

If you are a regular reader of this blog you will know that Clickbooth sponsor this blog. You will also know that Eric and I at Clickbooth are friends.  That leads to us getting lots of photos taken together and those photos get picked up. Now I did not deliberately target to get them in the Google listings but it does make me wonder about the possibility of targeting audiences via acutely trying to get images listed in Google.

I found this great post with more information about how to optimize images to make them show up http://www.doshdosh.com/how-to-optimize-for-google-images-for-more-traffic/

Have you had any success with optimizing your images for Google search?
