Hi All New here.... Sorry if it has been asked before... My Blog URL: http://twopomsandatruck.blogspot.com/ Browser(s) used: IE Can anyone explain please why the images in my blog don't appear on google image search But the ones in this blog do - http://capeyork2009.blogspot.com/2009/09/day-7-bramwell-station-to-eliot-falls.html I have alt tagged them all All have captions They are linked from Picasa (Which is set to public) Could it be because my images are linked from Picasa and not actually images uploaded directly into blogger? Thanks for reading
do you use the correct description ALT tag for each image? for example, <img src="http://www.example.com" alt="example tag description" border="0">
Google indexes images differently than pages. Sometimes it takes months for images to show up in their image index, while pages show up within a day or two. Just need to have patients and get more links.
hey mate,be patient first let your blog be old atleast for 2 months,then google will consider your blog and if your image is not copyrighted it will display it soon with perfect keywords
Hey guys thanks for your input I have used alt tag on my images (so that when you hovver the mouse it brings up keywords) Some of the images have been on there for months and months, but I only put the alt tag and captions on in the last few weeks - as you say I will wait with fingers crossed - any further tips would be greatly appreciated Carl
It would also depend on your authority. If a lot of websites have images tagged the same as yours, and those sites have more authority with google, then their images would show up over yours. You should also build your authority to make sure that your images show up on google images.
In some cases even using the Title tags could help, in addition to the Alt attributes. In addition to such techniques, use relevant words and sentences on your posts pages, and wait for some time.
give some time to google, be patient, but it isnt 100% sure that your all images going to be indexed at all...
Your images being hosted at picasa has got nothing to do with image optimization. Usually sites which rank well in web search will have their images indexed in image search too.
