selectshop.at Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Since 2 years Google is not giving preference to index images. They are indexed, but very, very, slowly. You must wait. A way for to speed up the process, is to make a separate image sitemap. I never tried it, so have no experience on it. Official tutorials: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/178636?hl=en http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.at/2010/04/adding-images-to-your-sitemaps.html - this is the most common way and is natively integrated on Prestashop's sitemap. A sitemap you already added to your Google webmaster account ? Edited June 22, 2015 by selectshop.at (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selectshop.at Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Prestashop modules: Google Sitemap Nice, but the question is for image index.... And this is as I told since 2 years a problem with Google. He is not indexing the images as by the same speed as the other (product) links. Google has several bots working. Image bot is not the same as other content bot. The only way to speed up the index of images could be to split the sitemap (not possible with Prestashop Google sitemap module) and make an own image sitemap. Prestashop actually has only one sitemap per language and all links together, without difference of the type of the URL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanessaji Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks all very much! We have no google image sitemap, and it seems that xml sitemap does not work as we expect too - the last datemod seems no change, which is what i'm confused about. I want to create a new sitemap with images sitemap & video sitemap, but no entrance to a functional tool, which is able to grab all site pages, all mobile pages and update automatically. Also, is recently the google pdating or grading sites? Is there any hazard to change the sitemap completely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or ata addons: http://addons.prestashop.com/de/seo-prestashop-module/6837-google-image-sitemap.html. For videos I can say, it is better to open a YouTube account and add your vidoes there, by linking them to your page. You Tube is also a Google product, so it is better indexed from there. For two, no, unless you change also the sitemap on your google webmaster account.

Site: http://www.edressit.com Are you using alt+title in your image?

jetx Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Wouldn't hurt to check in webmasters tools, robots-testing-tool, googlebot-image to see whether your robots.txt is blocking something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanessaji Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 (edited) Are you using alt+title in your image? Like this: <img src="your image here" alt="your image title here" height="XX" width="XX"> Yes, i set, the content of alt & title calls product name. e.g. <img src="http://imgs.edressit.com/420x633/201504/c8cc0da8-2bbb-47ee-a0ec-9b17063a63a8.jpg" title="eDressit Gorgeous Sleeveless Beaded Bodice Pink Prom Dress (C36153001)" alt="eDressit Gorgeous Sleeveless Beaded Bodice Pink Prom Dress (C36153001)"></img> Edited June 25, 2015 by Vanessaji (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwolf Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Rather then using a module for images in sitemap, you can include all your images in sitemap manually following Google Guidelines as given here; https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/178636?hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for index the images faster it could be a deal to have them splitted in an own sitemap, like Wordpress for ex. is having with extra tools. You can have a rss sitemap, a video sitemap, a image sitemap and ad least a sitemap for your content pages (only content, without the others). Unfortunately Prestashop has not the option to generate splitted sitemaps per category. A module would be nice managing this, but not yet available. Only for extra images as I told. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selectshop.at Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm sure that for windows servers there are also tools available for to capture the url's for an image sitemap. Did you researched on the net by using keywords "sitemap tool image windows server" ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selectshop.at Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Take a look into IIS Manager (I suppose you are using IIS ?) I don't remember, but maybe you have a free toll on board for sitemap creation. I was on Windows Server only for one year and than gave up. Windows are optimized for windows software. Others run there not really well. Perhaps this ? http://blogs.iis.net/carlosag/using-the-seo-toolkit-to-generate-a-sitemap-of-a-remote-web-site http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/search-engine-optimization-toolkit Edited June 27, 2015 by selectshop.at (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
