I recently found the following image being used in an SP ad on one of the advertising sites with the face blurred and a claim of the woman in the photo being "100%" really the lady being advertised 
Since it's one of those WAAAAAY to good to be true images, for fun I decided to run it through tineye. As many of us have become aware, tineye is not foolproof and this image had no hits on tineye.
However, I recently saw a post on another forum where a member there mentioned that he has been having luck using Google images to find images that tineye has been missing. So, I decided to try this image there. It returned 55 hits at the time. In fact, that's how I found the version of the image that I posted above.
I'm sure there's probably a short cut way of doing it that I'm not aware of but here's how I've been doing it. Grab the url that you want to check as you would with tineye. Go to google. Click on "Images". Paste the url into the search bar and hit enter. This brings up a page that says something like this:
For matching images, try search by image
Your search - http://hostingc.hotchyx.com/adult-image-hosting-03/9351cherry.jpg - did not match any documents.
Click on the "search by image" link. It will potentially give you a lot of hits of so-called "similar" images that really aren't all that similar. But when you get hits for the image you're searching, I've been impressed with how many you get for images that had no hits on tineye. Sometimes, you even get a "best guess" for who the model is by name if she has a number of sites dedicated to images of her.
I should note that I've been playing around with searching various images on both tineye and google and sometimes tineye comes back with hits where google does not. Still, it's nice to have a back up way of searching to get a "second opinion" of sorts.
