another one code is byrev-wp-image2url.php which is same

in the last yellow colour code I have changed so that it should redirect all reffered traffic to our attachment page . By default this plug in don't redirect other than google traffic.

 

Can you tell, if the traffic from image searches converts good or not?

 

We are getting traffic to sites, but not get visible in GA...!

 

No man even my traffic is increased because i put more written content & less images

 

@bappa86

is ok, exceptit nowatermark...

 

Let me try with suggest code, if it works for me as well.

 

I've got a question here, well in fact maybe a few questions so here goes:

1. if we are using image redirection with 301 method, will that make our existing indexed image in google disappear?
2. watermarking means we are serving the watermarked image from a cache right? so wouldn't that make google image bot also crawl that cache folder and index our watermark, which in turn when served will also be watermarked and this will go on as a loop?

 

I cant see this on Google?

 

Also just tried the PICShield WP plug-in and it works perfectly, I am concerned my images will be delisted though, can anybody give me more information on this?

 

Images are getting de-listed by google automatically, but after some days and weeks they return with the watermark in the image serps again. Traffic is slowly rising a bit for me every day now after using imaguard for around 10 days now. I am sure it will never be like before the 25th January though just because of the watermark solution. More text content + more facebook, dA, twitter activity + trying to build up a community of people who are visiting the site more often than before is my longtime solution

 

they are testing with this new change and it is not always available.


@Byrev

I am extremely sorry that I don't know you are the developer of Wp-Picshield.

**********************************************************

latest upgrade of wp-picshield resolves all issue.
Thanks for this plug in..

 

Well been using PICShield for a day and my traffic has doubled, keeping a close eye on my Google indexed images but all good so far. Had my best ever Adsense day yesterday and only had it activated for the evening.

 

Hi guys, do i miss something, I've just downloaded the plugin and activeted both itself and hotlink, yet the watermark.png doesn't show up on photos. What is wrong with it

 

@bappa86 no problem ... to beanonymousisthe best protectionagainstcorporations ... is better underground, too muchadvertising and I get attentionfrom "sharks"

@celebstar verify is watermark.png is in the place whereit should be: blog root.

 

Hello bappa86, thanks for the code. Very useful.

If it's not too much trouble could you post the wp-image2url thanks.

 

Actually that's ok, I see you've included it in the raw code directory of the Wordpress files - thanks

 

I checked watermark.png out again and the other settings the plugin has, yet doesn't work. I will send you my website, so you can have a look at it, if you want,

thanx for trying yo help me.

 

@celebstar : Your site working ok , watermark working, redirection working, is up and go! If some images is not watermarked, may be too large to avoid memory problems.

 

then should be a problem in my computer, thanx for taking care of me.
