I’ve come across a few sites recently that have a line in robots.txt that blocks Google Image Search from indexing the site:
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /
The way I see it, Google Image search would have been blocked for one of the following reasons:
Blocking Google Image Search can potentially lose you a lot of traffic. If you use decent alt text and name the image properly, you can gain traffic from specific product searches and long tail searches. It might even be worth considering putting a watermark on images to make sure people know where they are from. There are better options than completely blocking Google Image Search.

It has now been over nine years since Microsoft released Internet Explorer 6, which has never been fully compliant with the standards set out by the CSS Working Group, a part of W3C. Since this time, we have learned a lot about the web and because of IE6 we know now what to account for.
Thanks to the progress made, new browsers started to be more and more advanced, capable of displaying CSS2.1 code properly and these apps were far more usable than IE itself.
As soon as W3C announced the first drafts of the CSS3 standards, competition distanced itself from Microsoft by applying these drafts and allowing their users to view richer content and designers can harness the power of new tools.
This is where the “progressive enhancement” term was born. It is the way we code that leaves the full functionality and ultimate accessibility for older browsers with the base layout, while complimenting modern browsers by applying some advanced styling that is unavailable for Internet Explorer (any version).
Nice shadows, rounded corners and a lot of advanced features like font embedding are enriching the experience for users who browse the web using anything other than IE. This is a way to drag users away from the old browsers which are not capable of handling any advanced styling.
Clients expect to see the website the same way in every single browser, while it is impossible without using hacks and basically forcing the old browsers, like IE6 to do these things with JavaScript and using bugs and quirks as a way round serious issues with compatibility.
Recent researches proves that the end-user does not care about slight differences between the browsers as long as he/she has an intuitive interface and allows them to perform all the necessary tasks they want to do.
The progressive enhancement approach is a way to get rid of old and unwanted browsers and technologies while allowing designers and end-users to embrace the pure goodness that CSS3 and HTML5 have brought us.
