Google Opt-In Enhanced Image Search

Here is something new I haven’t seen before.

Apparently Google is trying out a new way of key wording images, getting humans to do the hard work! I did a search and eventually found this link. Google seem to have made the process fun by turning it into a competition. What a clever idea!

To allow your site to be key worded you need to log into your Google webmaster tools and choose the Enhanced Image Search option. I imagine it may take some time before any of your images actually get key worded, but if your site is image heavy this may bring in some extra traffic eventually.
