New Google Images And Traffic

hmmm this plugin is not working for me im going to contact them for support,

 

Thats why i use the watermark solution, not the redirect one. Any redirecting solutions might bring back some visitors now, but in the long run it does not seem to be good. Look for images from my site game-art-hq.com to see what i mean with watermark solution

 

Not all your images are showing a watermark, when i clicked on "view original" for example:

g a m e-art-hq . com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Soul-Calibur-V-Zwei-CGI-Render-SCV.jpg

 

i was also affected. even though i can't understand your english straightly.lol i think no one was able to notice.

 

i tried now and google change new image search system and again old image search system.

 

If you earn money from your sites why you are not investing to rent a developer or a company? Why are you crying here then? Don't you think you lose money instead to invest some bucks and solve the problem?

Google Break Dance and IMAGUARD plugins are not working well. I've tested them and they will modify your permalinks and others that are not good for Google. Also, I see that I can use only watermark, not watermark + redirect to article. That is a bad thing you know.

SO the best you can have is M. Alexander's script. His script works very well, does not modify the permalinks and you have watermark+redirect all in one. You can contact him at

 

I think Google is developing some algorithms to read images as well, as images are a part of content, it can't be neglected..

 

Yes, but script price is 99$

 

I really like it. It is much better now for sure

 

It is much yes, but for webmasters it could be a little more difficult to rank images. Still not hard, but read some really confusing posts on other SEO related forums today and yesterday...

I bet someone must have figured out to redirect traffic from images search to your blog .

like when you click on a image you are redirected to blog page :/

I wish that was true :'(

 

Yeah Google seems intent on annoying a lot of webmasters at the moment in their search for "Quality Content" the truth is that you only have to look in Google SERPS results to see that very often their SERPS results are anything but quality. I think that more webmasters will migrate to Bing

 

perfect plugin I have found for wordpress..

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/byrev-wp-picshield-hotlink-defence/screenshots/

Of course this plug in is free but if you like it then please donate..
Use this plugin.

Google determined to completely kill all publishers...

New image search layout change again
If users now click over original image it doesn't redirect to our website but instead open in a black background





Though Now similar images are available.





Forget traffic from google.

 

I just tried this plugin:

1. Google watermark wokrs.
2. Bing.com watermark works.
3. Yahoo.com watermark works

but redirection from google doest work for me. It is working for you ?

 

Yes perfectly working for me.
I am in wordpress CMS.

if you want only redirection (I only use this. No watermark )

then just edit your .htaccess

and change

from

# BEGIN WP-PICShield
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?(www.mydomain.com) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !(googlebot|msnbot|baiduspider|slurp|webcrawler|teoma) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) byrev-wp-picshield.php?key=kjE0-nxJL&src=$1 [L]
# END WP-PICShield


to

# BEGIN WP-PICShield
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?(www.mydomain.com) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !(googlebot|msnbot|baiduspider|slurp|webcrawler|teoma) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) byrev-wp-image2url.php?key=kjE0-nxJL&src=$1 [L]
# END WP-PICShield




Kindly note that you make have separate key value

 

I tried this plugin again with another wp theme and its redirecting to image attachment page but when i choose "Single" in "Redirect Direct Clik:" section, it is redirecting to NOT FOUND page, but not to image post.

Did you tried to redirect to "Single" ? ("Redirect Direct Clik:" plugin section)

 

forget the plug in just use two .php file in your root
one is byrev-wp-picshield.php
another one is byrev-wp-image2url.php

Then use that code in your .htaccess

# BEGIN WP-PICShield
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?(www.mydomain.com) [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} !(googlebot|msnbot|baiduspider|slurp|webcrawler|teoma) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) byrev-wp-image2url.php?key=kjE0-nxJL&src=$1 [L]
# END WP-PICShield

Have you activate custom permalink option in wordpress (I have choiced to use %postname%)

NO I didn't tried single option.
(may be you can delete that plug in but pls keep in mind that this plug in is hard work of someone, pls consider donate)

 

Hi.

About the last rules presented by bappa86:

• Up to version 1.8b "key" is not used in byrev-wp-image2url.php only in byrev-wp-picshield.php.
• images requests will be redirected without any clik to articles ... that will generate display errors in browsers, the images will be displayed in search engines, but the saved low-res (thumbs).
• in BING: Trying to load an image that is really a html will generate 3 additional requests for same image, so: 3 redirects + 3*X mysql querys for redirection in server + 3 wrong data transfers ... how good is that?
• watermark can be switched off from plugin config page: Watermark Settings -> Enabled Watermark: [Disable]
• these rules are incomplete, probably an older version. Missing:
  - allow Online Translators: (google, microsoft);
  - rules for Social Sites: like pinterest, thumblr, facebook (without this share button will not work and images will be watermarked); - rules for publish images via XML-RPC for Wordpress and Tiwtter using OAuth (If publishing scripts are on the same server with blog)

so ... if you want to work without watermark,
1.Update to the latest version and disable watermark from plugin.
or
2. use something like this

# BEGIN WP-PICShield
Header always append X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} google\.[^?]+[\?&].*q= [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) byrev-wp-image2url.php?src=$1 [L]
</IfModule>
# END WP-PICShield
