London:
Now, Goolge is worth one billion page views a day as the new image
searches can show upto 1,000 images per page. “This represents the
largest image search engine by far,” BBC quoted Marissa Mayer, vice
president of search, as saying.
The search giant revealed the numbers, as it announced a major
revamp of its image search.
Some analysts say that the new features are already in use by rival
search engine Bing.
There are now over 10 billion pictures on Google image search, which
launched in 2001 with 250 million.
“I have been watching image search grow and grow for the last nine
years since its launch. This is a tremendous rise and shows how the
web overall has gotten richer and richer with all kinds of media,”
Mayer added. Meanwhile, Google has said that the update represented
“a nicer way to surf the visual web.”
“We realised that for many searches,
the best answer wasn’t text -- it was an image or a set of images,”
Nate Smith, product manager said. The report states that the
quantity and variety of images on the web has ballooned since 2001,
and images have become one of the most popular types of content
people search for.
The new look image search is designed to be “more intuitive and get
the user to the answer a lot quicker.” Google can put up to 1000
images on a page to allow the user to scroll through them without
having to click in and out of pages. About 10 percent of users can
see the new interface at the moment.
Google has also offered new ad format,
called image search ads, to advertisers by allowing them to insert
an image into their text ads. The new ad format will only appear on
Google images for now and are seen as the latest in a series of
moves to increase revenue. The new picture-rich ads are expected to
sell for a premium over text-only versions.
Meanwhile, Jeff Bertolluci of PC World has accused Google of
borrowing some of the new features from Microsoft’s third-place Bing
search engine but Mayer denied being influenced by the rival search
engine. “We have taken all our inspiration from our users and looked
at how many images they like to look at and how they interact with
those results. Our advances are based on studying our users over the
years,” she insisted.
