Default Y. Image Search takes you to Image Directory, not website

When you click almost all of my Yahoo Image Search images, you get taken to a Image Directory instead of my website, and there's no way the searcher can get to my site.

For example, when you search for Japanese Garden Gates
Yahoo! Image Search Results for "japanese garden" gate you see three of my woodsshop.com images on the first page, (Japanese_Garden...00.jpg, japanese_garden_gate.jpg, Japanese_garden_gate.jpg)

but when you click them you go to a Directory and not my website.

I've optimized my site so well for image searches, but I'm getting almost no traffic from Yahoo Image Search, hope someone can help me with this so my site can get found with Yahoo.

Default Re: Y. Image Search takes you to Image Directory, not website

Well, now there's only one of my images on that first page I linked to, the first image on the page. Click it and you'll go to that Directory I'm asking about.

You know, some of my images on Yahoo Search do work and take you to my site, but most don't.

Here's what my webmaster says ..

"When I do an image search through yahoo. I some times get the lower
frame to be a 'Index of /images' Directory.
How can I prevent that as I would like just the web-page the image is
on in the lower frame and not exposing my entire directory."
