Hi friends I am currently observing my blog's image position on the search engines and feeling something is going wrong because google is not showing images those are there in the posts (they are very few but according to need in the articles). Please check and let me know what may be fault I am doing that's why google is showing only images on my blog there in sidebar or from somewhere.
A site map is absolutley essential. Also, use ALT IMAGE tags for your images - the google crawler can't recognize images... it only sees text.
Be very specific and brief when you assign alt text for your images. Also, you should name the image properly. Doing these will surely increase the chances of your images being shown up in Google image search results.
