@shaloo walia I would like to make a correction here, the PayPal must transfer the amount the within 24 hours as the Reserve bank of India does not permit them to keep any amount pending more than that. Your money is always in your bank but it takes you about two days when you notice it. That is the reason PayPal charges such a high fee from its Indian users.

@bestwriter I don’t doubt at all that images are an issue IF they are slowing down page loading. But Google is benchmarking page loads on high-speed networks in urban areas of the US, not on slower networks that can be found many places in North America and around the globe.

Also, you might want to look into the value that images add to your content. Images are THE big thing on the internet right now, even in Tweets. Infographics are huge. Content with relevant images gets 94% more views than content with no images or images that don’t relate to the content.

Saying that people are looking for information that is not dependent on images is simply false. Images are the new information for many web readers.

@ruby3881 If that be the case it should reflect right here in that  blogs with many images should get better earnings. But that is not happening.

@suny  We Indians have to do nothing. The moment money gets into our paypal account they automatically transfer it within the stipulated time.

@bestwriter There is no arguing that images add value to blogs. But seeing as the staff here on LB continue to publish posts that contain both poor-quality (e.g. blurry) images and images that clearly infringe on copyrights (watermarked Shutterstock images, images credited to copyrighted WP blogs, etc.) my guess is the algorithm here doesn’t pay much attention to images.

If we are to go out of our way to add more or better images, it must be in an effort to appeal to human readers and to help boost the SEO of our posts or the site as a whole. The effort won’t see an immediate reward from the site, however.

@suny  I didn’t know that. That’s the reason I get email notifications about money transfer a bit late. Thanks for correcting me!
