For the best results, follow this method: (dragging in the image gives more results for some reason)
Step 1: Go to Google IMAGE Search: http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=ii
Step 2: Drag an image into the searchbox

Alternate methods:
Step 1: Go to Google IMAGE Search: http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=ii
Step 2: Click on the camera icon in the search box

Alternative reverse image search site: http://www.tineye.com/

This can be used to search for multiple profiles on different sites using the same avatar pic / product pics / personal pic. Sometimes you get lucky with this, sometimes not. I know DM uses this with great success to find rare porn pics.

For faster reverse image searching, try these addons:

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... h-options/

Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... bmccagifhl

Google Search by Image support will be added by default in an upcoming version, but to add it now do the following:
1. Export your Site Settings using the 'Export' button in the extension's options.
2. Save the file to your desktop, and open it with notepad. (very important)
3. At the end of the file add a new line exactly as it appears here: http://saucenao.com/tools/examples/gsbiprelim.txt
4. Save the file and import it back into the extension using the 'Import' button.

Haha! What a great tip! I've searched for certain images in google a lot. That really helps me find things that I have trouble finding. I just tried the google image search on several images and this is real handy. Mahalo nui Don & DataMine. This will come in handy.

Indeed I just tried both google and yandex and I find the result better on yandex. Didn't know this until. Good tip.
