Images not getting Indexed


Designinfo.in

Recommended Posts

I am using the default theme and default google sitemap module

I created the sitemap and uploaded in google webmasters

out of 257 pages submitted only 5 are got indexed ( 2 months have passed )

Crawling frequency is kept maximum

I tried updating the sitemap several times

Why are my pages not getting indexed?

Images are also not getting indexed which is all together another issue.

on typing in google my domain name few links appear

Google is not indexing images as a priority anymore, and from what I can see he does not index ALL images. One of my projects is indexed on first rankings since 2010 -  from 3.082 images on sitemap Google has indexed by today only 2673.

 

On another site (WordPress) I have 3.010 pictures added to sitemap, Google indexed only 1.518 - also this site is indexed for more than 5 years.

I took a random sampling of their product names in image search. Every Time, I had a matching listing. This could possibly be because of product schema. The image parameter is fed in and in search console for structured data, you should see an index. That grows over time. You can also drag that product image into image search to find matching results.

I forgot another important thing: The same rules for unique content apply to the images. If you are using product images from your supplier it could be that Google never will add them to index, cause they are already added by another URL before you. First added is also first served on indexing....

 

If images are not 100% unique, this means that  Google may not prioritize indexing them as much as unique images.

 

You should give 2-3 months to verify your index status. Before this the status is not really meaningful.

Today on one of my client's sites I found this:

66.102.6.232 - - [25/Sep/2015:22:47:09 -0400] "GET /1482-thickbox_default/olive-wood-byzantine-cross-owcr044.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 11850 "http://gallery.asiaforest.org/byzantine+cross+image" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko" 

Now, I could setup hot-link protection and spoil their image indexing since google allows one to view original image without any context. Or, someone could help me dream up regex to redirect to the product page using hints such as the product ID and product name surrounded by hashes and feed into the search link? Good idea?
