    Hows everybody doing...I have various bots visiting my site at www.sneakerobsession.com ....From montering my traffic i have noticed that i have gotten a lot of hits due to google images and people looking up pictures of sneakers...I would like to continue however it seems as if Google isnt indexing my images anymore...And hasnt for awhile...I have done a few searches of my own for pictures i know that are on my site...However, i never come across them after pages and pages in google images...The posts themselves show up well in Google and get indexed rather quickly, just not the images...

    you can check the blog at www.sneakerobsession.com ...If u could please go through a few of the posts on the first or second page and tell me what could be a reason to that, that would be great...Bad tagging or something, i dont know....I have made about 300 posts since the images stopped showing...

    Google Images does however have images indexed from my site from wayyyy back...these are the links to those direct posts, maybe it could help u determine my newer posts to the older ones and why those images are indexed and not the newer ones..

    also...

    is there any sort of advantage to having thumbnail images for a bot to click on...For example instead of having all pictures which arent clickable, having some which are thumbnails and require a click to be linked to the image page...

    play any sort of advantage?

    I don't think there is any sort of advantage, I don't know a huge amount about indexing images, but you might like to check through the options on Google Webmaster Tools (http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/) because there are some image indexing options there.

    The bots will search your pages and index them, just use proper tags on the images.
