      For one site I work with the images link to the home page of the site rather than the page the image lives on. I think this is hurting my bounce rate quite a bit. Thoughts?

        This is the result of the new Google Images, probably.

        What displays is this (attached JPG.)

        The red circle is a link to your domain.  The blue circle is a link to the actual image page.

        Many photographers are reporting their image search results are down and I've seen this with my own clients. People are clicking the visible domain, not "view this page" and it's really messing with image search hits.

        Visit page will take the visitor to the actual page but for some reason, many people are clicking the domain instead.
