Google Images might not be the most obvious place for photographers to sell their images, but with so many people using it, it’s ... too big to be overlooked. With the right strategies and the right care, it might just bring in the right amount of sales too

The new Google Images is identical to the old one, except all the text that used to appear on the page, save the title of the image, is hidden, and only appears when your mouse is near the image. The redesign does not make for more space on the page, or larger images, or a cooler new look, it just removes info that was always there. If you want to find out what website an image was from, or how big it is, you have to work for it, and there is no way to compare the images against each other.

Google Images maintains a database of 425 million images, retrieved from pages throughout the World Wide Web. These images are not owned by Google... the researcher must follow the provisions of U.S. copyright law when using any Google image for production purposes.

Recall the earlier post about Google Images, which demonstrated that the index was rarely updated? Well, the folks at Google clearly were listening. When Sergey calls something embarrassing, something has to change. Now, when you query Google Images, you will see Google News images in your results. That'll solve some of the problems, but it's just a patch - news only archives 30 days, if memory serves. It's quite clever, though.

Google Images was updated overnight with a much cleaner look. The most noticeable changes was removal of the row background color (light-blue), removal of the file’s size and dimensions (in pixels), and removal of the originating site’s URL. The removed information is re-revealed once an image is hovered.

Ask Jeeves has long done inline display of images in the way Google is now doing, as Gary covers in this previous post. Yahoo doesn't do inline display but will prompt with a text link at the top of results to try an image search as this example shows: pictures of sunsets. Yahoo ... increased its own image database last October, and Gary sings its praises in his Yahoo Announces Size Increase to Image Database.
