Good ways to make google image traffic monetize well on Adsense?

[ichsie]

One of my sites got good traffic from google image search, but as you know the visitors are just interested in images rather than text, and they rarely look at the page content thus effectively neglecting all the adsense ads. The CTR is below 0.2% from them.

Now what can I do to monetize them well? Is it possible with Adsense or should I try something else? Any ideas?

I have a photo site and the pages where I write a few lines about the picture do much much better with CTR than pages with just a picture and a title. Most of my traffic is from google image search.

I monetize my image traffic by seling licenses to use my photos.

Only around 5 hits a year, but 50.-EUR to 200.-EUR per hit :)

My sites have just photos with practically no text. The CRT is around 0,45% as average. About traffic, it comes 50/50 from both google image and normal search.

Hmm, my site is no photo site but a resourceful textbook-style educational site with plenty of illustration pictures, 2000 - 3000 words per page that averages 3 original pictures each. Very high quality pages, all originally written. It's very upset that monetize so bad on Adsense. BTW, I rely solely on Adsense for revenue.
