Hey Pookie... here's a tip that will get your site a lot more traffic from Google...

I've noticed that some of your images do not have the names in the url nor 'alt' tags, for example, this one:

20f3n8m.jpg
Here is the HTML:

<img class='bbc_img' src="http://i42.tinypic.com/20f3n8m.jpg" alt="20f3n8m.jpg">

As you can see, there is no 'alt' tag that describes the image, nor is there a descriptive name that the search engines can parse.
Sodahead has a cool way of making their images come out on top, and you might wish to open an account there and use it to post and host SOME of your images since they add a description to the image name and also automatically embed alt and title tags into all posted images! This is why they frequently dominate google image search results - which generates traffic.

Below is a far better way to post an image that will suck in traffic:

Obama will not rest until every american can find a job

Here is the HTML:

<img class='bbc_img' src="http://images.sodahead.com/profiles/0/0/3/5/5/3/6/1/7/obama-will-not-rest-until-every-american-has-a-job-111246671653.jpeg" 
alt="Obama will not rest until every american has a job" 
title="Obama will not rest until every American can find a job" >

As you can see, there are lots of nice keywords for Google to read and later direct people to your site...
Try it while watching your traffic... you will be pleasantly surprised!
Have a great weekend!!! :)

That's nice & interesting, Bon mots. However, I don't have a site myself. I post the toons directly to 3 different sites (The Right Reasons, The (GOP) Briefing Room & Odd Onion. I don't make anything from doing this other than satisfaction...
