Geting your images indexed

    I need a suggestion for what's gone wrong with my site.

    I have a fairly popular site, over 1yr old, almost 1000 unique articles, 10000 uniques per day on average.
    But, for some reason, none of my images are indexed on Google. Not a single one, nada. Except when the image is hotlinked by another site, wtf?

    Can anyone make a suggestion?

    It's the site in my sig

    Do you add alt text to your images?? It's important for search engines to see the text as they can't see the image

    Not going towards complexities, it all depends on the power of your alt text. Put right targeted keywords and it's your way to the image search spotlight!

    Yes I use alt text. But, as I said, not a single picture is indexed.
    I have no robots.txt or htacess blocking indexing either

    Are you sure non of your images are indexed? Your content might be marked as "nsfw".

    To see real result make sure you set "Do not filter my search results" before typing site:url.com in image search.
