The results can be mixed and image search is certainly less productive than direct traffic searches. I see image search results as supplementary traffic. When you can't find what you are looking for with an ordinary search you resort to image search next. Depending on the search term you could get excellent traffic out of this. If your target 'free porn pic' you will have a hard time to monetize it, if you resort to sponsor site titles you will attract freeloaders, but if you concentrate on 2 or 3 word terms inside your niche, I am sure there is a chance of generating a few signups.
Let me give you one example. Let's say you run a Latina porn blog. I would think the terms like 'horny latina', free latina porn', etc. will give you nothing, but freeloader traffic. But if you list 'hairy mexican granny' or 'petite latina blonde' chances are much better to achieve good rankings and generate interest among your visitors.
Basically, I would divide image searchers into 2 categories: First the freeloaders and second the people who are desperate to find what they are looking for.
