hi, I notice one of my site which has some images in it lost all the traffic from its image search traffic. Anyone seeing the same trend?
I think Google Robots are now very smart regarding the images. Please re-check your content & re-write it.
panda update is also there for the images result too... the images are going to be cached in search result after a long filtration process by the google as per panda update !
Image also is a part of quality so it do affect by Google Panda Update as well. As long the content may not related to your website or it may useless in your website. It will influence your SEO as well.
images are a good source of traffic but if you dont get traffic from there you loose half of the traffic so try to get back soon, try to have good quality and relative images
It didn't affect me at all. But then I wasn't dependent on or involved with the content farms Panda set its sights on. A lot of sites that had used article sites as their primary source for backlinks were hit hard as the article sites themselves lost ground. I can feel sorry for individual webmasters but to be blunt I'm happy to see Google bearing down on the crap that filled those article directories. Even after Panda, there are still many people trying to argue the merits of "article spinning" to create "good original content", an oxymoron if I ever heard one.
i think in the race of revolutionizing the internet google is doing some mistakes as panda also affected some famous genuine content sites like mahalo , mashable
I notice the same. I don't know if it is panda or something else but serp in Google Images have been changed significantly...
Google panda is for protecting the copyright of the owner. It helps owner for continuing their campaign with their valuable resources by protecting thief.
problem is how do they know who is the real owner or not? Just because they upload it first does not mean that site owns the image
