Redirect Google Image Search Traffic To Blogs
We all know that Google Image Search is one of the leading image search engine for driving image traffics to blogs or websites, if images are well optimized by ALT tags. Google indexes images must faster than the webpages, if images are properly optimized with ALT tags. But now things have been changed, the newer version of Google Image Search opens the image in an iframe by blocking the actual website in the background with the Image on the top. This is good for Google Image Search users as they download the images without visiting the actual website that hosts the images. But for blog or websites owners this is a loss of revenue and traffic. See below example how Google Image Search kills legitimate traffic by framing the actual website in the background.
But don't worry we have a small piece of code that will do the trick, I have tried this code in one of my website and works perfectly, when a visitor click on the image it will redirected to the original website. The code will do a simple JavaScript hack to redirect all Google Image Search viewer to your original website page. So, let's add this code in your blog or website to increase your image search traffic too.
Redirect Google Images Traffic To Blogs

3. Now click on Expand Template Widgets check box.
4. Search for <head> tag in your Template. More Info On: "How To Find A Code In Blogger Template".
5. Copy and Paste the following piece of code Above the <head>.
Code
<script language=’Javascript’>if(parent.location != self.location){parent.location=self.location;}</script>If above code fails, use below one
<script type=’text/JavaScript’>if (parent.frames.length > 0)top.location.replace(document.location);</script>6. Save your template and check your website.

Hi bro, I tried doing this and I managed to add in the javascript code. I saved it fine, but now whenever I am going to the html edit page again, blogger right away showing me error performing request. I can't even go to the edit html page because blogger automatically redirects me. I think the reason is because the javascript clashes with mobile preview which I have turned on. Do you have any idea how I can revert back this problem?

@Ravi Saive
Thanks for the WordPress plugin link. I see it's a new one - I like testing new wp plugins.
If it works, will solve the annoying 404 errors - one of my sites gets a lot of image search traffic - and the images are hotlink protected so I get lots of 404s logged for images.
