Google Image Search Top Site After Google UK
June 15, 2007
This week in our Site Seeing column in the Guardian (sorry it's still not available online so I can't link to it), we profiled Google Image Search, the top website visited after Google in the UK. More than three-quarters of UK visits to Google UK Image Search come from the Google search engine. The website ranked #18 among All Categories of websites and it has ranked among the top 20 websites each week in the past year based on UK visits.
As you would expect, Google Image Search dominates the Graphis and Clip Art category, ranking #1 every week for the past two years. Google UK Image Search received 60.48% of UK visits to the Graphics and Clip Art category. Combined with the dot com site, Google Images captured 69.09% of category visits.
Consumers spent an average of just over 10 minutes on the website last week, indicating that they are spending time viewing multiple images. When UK internet users do click off of Google UK Image Search, 7% go to a social network, 5% return to Google’s search engine and 5% continue to a blog. The following table shows the top 15 downstream sites visited after Google UK Image Search last week.

Google image search is something new that I've begun using. When searching for some images online I came across google image search and couldn't believe the size of the repository.
I've used images from royalty free CDs for my website http://www.marketingscoop.com but wonder if I can use the Google images without concern over image rights or royalties.
