Images are also a type of information just in visual form. Google has always favored this type of "information" more than text especially this past few years. As for specific niches, well... Search for music, porn, etc. The biggest ones with the most "information" on the web. Mike Phil, people want information, right… Images are also a type of information just in visual form.

I don't see ProBlogger posting 12 images to get to the top of his niche, or John Chow going mpeg crazy, whereas Gary V-C is a vlogger that doesn't exceed either of them. Are there some specific sites (in the non-MMO sector) you could point me to that do it well? Thanks for the tips.

You will see that ones that have a lot of images on their content pages always outrank the ones that don't. This is nothing new and has been suggested by all the SEO experts over the years especially if you are a blogger. This is actually why blogging took off as it did, few paragraphs of text and lots of images. Google gives more ranking points to properly labeled images with alt tags than just text. Anybody can re-phrase or write a bunch of paragraphs but getting images isn't as easy. This is old news but a big time mistake people continue to make/ignore probably 95/100. The web is all about media. Web sites with just text are 1.0, websites with images and videos 2.0 and in the next year or two there is going to be a big transition and websites with just text unfortunately won't make the cut.

I assume if you have a dozen that they would not all be large? Is there any particular way you should label the photos for SEO? wannadevelop – could you point me in the direction of a site that is successfully executing the strategy of using multiple large images per page for ranking.
