Do visitors from google images convert? very interesting thread discussion in webmasterworld.com,

There is an interesting thread in webmasterworld.com which discusses whether visitors from google images convert, In my point of view it all depends on the site we run, If the site is basically built around images and art it is best to feature in google image search,

this is an interesting posting from the same thread,

My site was basically built around a large photo gallery, so image search
is important to me, and generates a big share of my traffic.
But like a lot
of image galleries, the visitor may not be actually looking to buy anything.
Sometimes they are actually looking for images, prints, posters, etc, none of
which I sell.
But I do have ads on the site and a modest number of visitors
click the ads on any given image page.
What has worked well for me is
providing links to pages about stuff some percentage of visitors coming in
through image searches might be interested in, and putting ads on those pages
that they are more likely to click.
As a side note, because my images get
“borrowed” at a fairly high rate, I decided to label most of them with my url.
Those “borrowed” images appear to generate a pretty decent level of fairly
targeted traffic. Basically I turned the images themselves into ads for my site.
That might be harder to do with an image that comes from a product
description page, but it might be worth giving some thought as to how to make it
work in that situation.
