Is there any reason why I should not put images that I use in a directory of public_html/directoryforimages/ and then reference them like <img src="/directoryforimages/image.jpg"> ?? It seems easier for me to track them

That will work if you remember to use the the full url for the image – eg http?/example.com/directoryforimages/image.jpg

There shouldn’t be a problem with doing that as long as the folder is inside the folder where your WordPress files are. I’ve used this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/media-file-manager/ to create directories like what you are saying within my uploads folder. There are other plugins that can create subfolders.

I use a similar directory on many sites the way I have it above without “http…. .com/”. I have no troubles but I was wondering if Google bots don’t mind. thanks.

The search bots couldn’t care less where your images are stored.
