Well thats an interesting question, How Does Google Index Images?
Google Maybe the most comprehensive image search provider of the web. But some webmasters don't know how to get their images indexed by Google.
Googlebot as we all know ignores images. So, how the damm it has an image search?
If your site is "Search Engine Friendly" and is a bit old, then Google must index its images too.A bit old site is required because Google dosen't update the Image Index "frequently"
If you are an impatient Webmaster, like me, Google Webmasters have an option for Enhanced Image Search. If you choose to enable enhanced image search, Google will use tools such as Google Image Labeler to associate the images included in your site with labels that will improve indexing and search quality of those images
For those who don't know about Google Image Labeler.Google Image Labeler is a new feature of Google Image Search that allows you to label random images to help improve the quality of Google's image search results.
In this You'll be randomly paired with a partner who's online and using the feature. Over a 90-second period, you and your partner will be shown the same set of images and asked to provide as many labels as possible to describe each image you see. When your label matches your partner's label, you'll earn some points and move on to the next image until time runs out. After time expires, you can explore the images you've seen and the websites where those images were found. And we'll show you the points you've earned throughout the session.
it is not necessary that you do a bit of "labeling" to get your images indexed.Few more tips are that you
•Make sure the page topic corresponds to the search term
•Make an image of standard size{like 800 x 600 }
•Make the image in .jpg or .gif format.{Not necesarry, but recommended }
•Use the search term in the alt attribute, the title attribute and make sure that you have included the width and height declarations
Are You Really Earning from Adsense?
The sole purpose why I am writing this blog post is because I have received many complaints from fellow bloggers that they do not earn as expected from adsense. Everyday hundreds of bloggers start off their money making expedition with a hope that after few months or years they may be earning high by participating in programs such as Google Adsense.
After few days or weeks most of them leave blogging because they do not earn even a buck. Some may be cheating by clicking on their own ads or asking others to do that or just participating in programs that gives automated clicks. Such bloggers are either “banned” immediately or when they are about to receive their earnings.
When they are banned, they leave blogging. Then, a few honest publishers are left who are literary embarrassed by their earnings even after getting traffic or page rank. Most of them also leave blogging until they are fed-up. Then a few remain who just wait for the day when they would be the next Darren Rowse.
But that’s the truth, you can’t earn living by your Adsense earnings. According to me only few would be really making something out of adsense.
Even bloggers like Peter Chen are hardly able to make out 200 $ per month which is not acceptable for a comfortable living
Tip:- First make blogging your part time job. When you realize you have got an alexa rank of below 100,000 gear up and be a full time blogger.
But all bloggers have got something in their part from where they can really earn from blogging.
-Start off with a blog.
-Post your content like a reputed teacher even though no one may be reading it!
-Submit your blog to good PR directories.
-Wait for a few months until you get assigned a decent Page Rank i.e PR
Sign up for some other earning programs {like text link ads, pay per post} once you have managed to acheive a page rank of around 3 or more, you can earn around 10 $ per sponsored post. You can do a sponsored post after every three days. That means you will earn around 40 $ in a week. Which in turn says 200 $ per month! How is that for a part time blogger. Slowly and steadily your site will get popular. More high Page rank means more $’s per post. A page rank five site can have sponsored post of upto 50 $ ! Just imagine !

Haloscan- The new blogger onsite comment form
I've been wondering around on the web to look for an service that provides script for commenting on new blogger blogs.Reason: to comment, you have to click on an external link,first sign in {if you aren't} then retype then fill in CAPTCHA {if enabled}.This is a very time consuming and irritating process.On the other hand, Wordpress blogs have on site comment forms which invites more and more readers to comment, easily.
I came across a few sites, but their scripts weren't successful.Then finally I came across Haloscan.com that provides
•Onsite comment forms for new blogger
•Installation wizard for different blogging platforms {including both versions of blogger} so no play of code here
•Integrated support for smileys{blogger doesn't support them} and an image uploading option [even wordpress doesn't provide free image hosting for comments
•Track back Included
•Recent Comments widget
•Getting email address of the commenter!
I have just signed up but not installed it as my previous comments wouldn't be visible anymore{if I remove commenting link}.Haloscan.com is still in beta testing phase and their are many fluctuations in its Data Centers and its users are a bit annoyed with it
What I recommend is that you go with Haloscan.com if your blog is new or doesn't have much comments.

Track Website Visitors - Website Tracking Analyzer
How do I Track Website Visitors?
If you have a website or blog, collecting data on visitors to your site is extremely important. Whether you have a business or just develop websites or blogs as a hobby, data from your visitors can be extremely helpful in tweaking and fine-tuning your site.
The more data you can collect from visitors, the more productive and effective your content, campaigns and services can be. There are many ways to track website visitors. Some of the more popular include:
•Free website tracking software
•Analytic software
•Services that track and analyze data for you.
Free Website Tracking Software
If you are one of the millions of web developers creating websites and blogs on the internet, you probably have access to cpanel. Cpanel is an open-source GUI interface that administers to your websites and blogs. Included in most cpanel software is the ability to view current and historical statistics regarding your domains.
Two programs that are included with most cpanel interfaces are Webalizer and AwStats (Advanced Web Statistics).
Webalizer
Webalizer is a barebones tool that keeps tracks of specific types of data and shows it graphically on the web. Data that Webalizer collects includes:
•URL- Shows the URL that was requested by the user's browser.
•Hit - Every single HTTP request that your visitor's browser submits is counted as a hit.
•Page - A visitor's request for any URL with content.
•File - Every HTTP request is considered to be a file.
•Visitor - Each specific IP address or HTTP cookie.
•Visit - Each time a visitor accesses your website.
•Host - A host is a visitor's machine running a browser. Host and IP address are sometimes used interchangeably.
•User Agent - The user agent is the web browser that a visitor uses to access your site (e.g. Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, etc.).
While Webalizer is efficient at collecting data, it does lack specific kinds of measurements. For instance, it does not differentiate between robots and human visitors. Another disadvantage of using Webalizer is that development on the program stopped in 2002.
AwStats
AwStats (Advanced Web Statistics) is another popular open source website statistics program. You can find it on most cpanel interfaces and it also works with most major server platforms. For many web developers, AwStats collects a vast amount of information including all the types of data collected by Webalizer. In addition, it can differentiate between human visitors and robots. It can also collect information on which countries visitors come from, bandwidth usage, top 25 users, the duration of time visitors spent on your site, most popular pages, computer operating systems used, the URL address from which visitors arrived, search keywords and key phrases that visitors used, etc. For the small-to-midsize web developer, AwStats is a powerful program that is fully featured.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a free statistics and analytical program used mainly by web developers as part of the Google AdSense network. However, it also provides useful information on many other aspects of web traffic and website marketing. While Google Analytics is an excellent tool for smaller developers that monetize their site with Google advertising, many web developers might find it easier to track web traffic with the other programs mentioned above.
Fee-Based Analytic and Statistical Software
If you have an e-commerce business or would like to have access to comprehensive, real-time data regarding your websites, you should probably look into fee-based analytic and statistical software. While these programs are fee-based, they are in most cases well worth the investment. They can give you a variety of tools to delve deep into your web traffic.
Using the many fee-based software products available, you can easily view and analyze visitors to your site and their behavior to help build a more effective website or product. Other services provided by these software products usually include fraud analysis, which can red flag traffic that may be fraudulent, and the ability to track advertising campaigns, with special emphasis on click-through rate and ROI (return of investment). Fee-based software also offers technical support and user forums to get the most out of the product.
Services that Track and Analyze Data
Many web developers can go one step further and pay for services that track and analyze data. Usually these services are run by search engine optimizers (SEOs) or marketing companies. Most are geared towards medium-to-large businesses on the web. These services are usually more expensive than fee-based products, but for many enterprises, they are the most effective choice.
