Hey Waramp2.0 (gotta be the same guy
For the blog with the decent ammount of google images traffic, install this plugin on your blog.

It will pop the frame google images loads and put them directly on your site. HOPEFULLY you have relevant niched images on the page.
This has increased my conversions on image traffic probably by double. (allthough double of 0 is still 0 .lol )
