Google gone Mad or what ?

Hello.


Well, I have some major image traffic and Google is being so harsh on me. There is a blogger website of some weird guy and he shares the direct link to my images at his page. Google de-indexed my website's images and indexed his and he stole away all my traffic. I added Hotlink Image protection. Google was back the next day to index my images back again.

5 days later, he starts another Google blog and shares the images again. Google again de-indexes my images to index his, although I have Hotlink image protection. I don't know why Google is acting so weird these days ? Can't they simply see where the original content comes from. They can at-least have something in their Algorithm to prefer the direct-link image domain address. This is serious shitty stuff.


And I can do nothing but check my Hotlink image protection again and again which sometimes works, one hour later it doesn't. Then it works with some browsers, with others it won't. I'm at a loss. Please help, thanks.

 

A bad situation but something that Google are unlikely to combat simply due to the fact that the majority of people who have images on their site don't have the right to show the image, i mean imagine a celebrity news site that shows images of celebrities but doesn't have the rights...

 

I didn't understand that post. What do you mean by not having the rights to show the image ?

We do are showing the images.

 

So anyone who could tell me a solution ?

 

I think you should simply send an email to google regarding this problem and they will surely help you,soon they will contact you.

 

Indexing takes times:

How old your website is? and you are saying that when the other person created a new blog you got dis-indexed again

To be honest, i don't believe this to be happening

Google have best algorithms in place and its not like that

 

it need 1 month sometime needed more time to get index on google image.

 

some time it happens because google changes its algorithms for experimental purpose . keep monitoring ..

 

Do you own the rights to the photo? If you do you can send the blogger a C&D.

 

No its nopt my image for which I am the only one to hold the rights.

If someone really wants to show that on his website, he should download that and upload it himself to their site.

And yes, I didn't believe that Google is doing this with me but you just gotta believe at something you see with your eyes

Where should I email Google ? Any help.

Their new algorithm according to many does got problems, thats what their employers are figuring out even at Google forum.
