Did google analytics dropped visits from images.google.com ?
After 60% drop in reported traffic, this might be the cause

Hi, after unexplained 60% drop in google analytics traffic, I tried to find the cause so isolated the last days.
I noticed that analytics doesn't report any images.google.com as referral. Before I had tons of links from there.
So did it dropped these visits count from analytics ? Has anyone noticed this ?

Ok it appears that in fact, google REMOVED all my images from its index....... they hate my site I must figure out why.

Is that removed the images? or just put them significantly lower in the results. Are you sure you aren't blocking Googlebot from you image directory - if it is the former. I've seen server techs do this to save bandwidth before now.
