Hello Since the Panda update is with us,there are many problem on Google Images crawling the websites. I've been checking all the quality websites for days.And I see their images are'nt crawled and not indexed on google images directory. I add over 10+ images to my website but google doesn't index any of them. Anyone has this problem? And solutions?
not at all mate, but I've seen lot more "dancing" in images since june/july of this year, than ever before...anyway dunno if its just me or a panda side effect :S
NTuzman/ Others 1. Can you please tell me how you decide a Image has been Indexed by Google? Do you use the same site:url technique on the Image URL'S? 2.If you have a website visitor Log, can you check and let us know if Google Image Bot has visited your site? 3.What ever images you used, are they original? or copied from some where? 4.Is the page/post related to that image (where the image is indexed) is indexed? 5.Is there any Robots.txt that disallows the image bot?
Do you have any "alt" tags in the HTML of your images? Once you have those, build anchor text backlinks matching the keyword in the "alt" tag. This should bring you right up in Google Images.
Have you used image alt text? and the name of the image is also a very important issue. try to correct these things.
The Panda update has made a lot of sites dance, but overall the better quality sites have gotten better indexed and more of their pages and images are now showing in the results whereas other sites have gone down.
One note to consider, over-seo-ing your images will get them de-indexed or ranked insanely lower....don't over do it...panda seems to have cleaned it up since then. I was sitting first image for several highly competitive terms (over-seo-ed) them and they disappeared....fixed it and now they are climbing back up
