Number 1 at Google Images for 1,2,3,4,5,6,7!!

In a weird twist of search engine fate, onFlex.org has the #1 image on google for searches "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7". During the launch of Flex 2.0.1 I was in Edmonton training Grant Skinners team on Flex and decided to count down to the launch on my blog. Well the number images seems to be very popular and lots of folks link to them. It is a bit weird to be #1 for images of numbers.

Google Images "1"

I want to do something about this number phenomena and understand why google's SEO isolated the number images. It would also be kind of fun to monitize the image traffic or at a minimium understand the traffic and domains where the images are used.

Who knows, it will be a fun experiment regardless and I will keep you posted!

I think the important number is the 3 billion that we just passed in the upper right.

Hey Ted,

I have a feeling it has to do with the google service thing that allows people to evaluation images that google finds on the web and identify them. The Google Image Labeler is really quite fun to play and try out. Giveit a swing
