One of the more overlooked search services on the Internet is image search, which is one of the fastest growing services on the Internet. Google, Bing and Yahoo all have image search engines, with many other specialized image search engines available as well. Image search allows users to search for pictures and images according to keywords or search phrases.
Having great artwork, whether it be photos or graphics, can really drive people to your website or blog. On a site or blog with nice graphics, traffic from image search engines can account for 15% or more of the total traffic.
If your website or blog is being published in several languages, use plenty of images to get your message across. As opposed to text, images do not need to be translated into another language. And good graphics will drive traffic to your foreign language blog or website as well, if not better, than text search.
