      Hi,

      My articles are indexed and images (full size) via a meta in the body also. But, the images in the slideshow are not indexed, have you any idea? A problem with the JS

      Example : http://www.parismatch.com/People/Television/Sport-a-la-tele-les-femmes-a-l-abordage-962989

      Thank you in advance

      Julien

        You can do a "site:" search directly in Google like this and I currently see this --> http://screencast.com/t/ZVqq5iumQ - you can probably do a site: search on the whole domain, a subfolder or a specific page etc.

          Ok, what is the best method that you recommend for verify images indexation directly in Google ?

          I would post a message explaining the change after change sitemaps.

          Thanks for all

            Thanks! OK, yes I'd make your Sitemap and HTML image URLs the same.

            Also, that's a LOT of images, so I'm not surprised Google is taking time to index them.

            Also, there can sometimes be a delay in Search Console data. You can always be checking Google itself to see what files are indexed.

                    Is this your current sitemap?

                    http://www.parismatch.com/var/exports/sitemaps/sitemap_parismatch-index.xml

                    What is the direct address of the image sitemap(s)?

                    Thanks!

                      Thanks Dan. Unfortunately, we have changed the images of host, on a different CDN...

                      Before the redesign, we used exactly this configuration, visible on this page (it's just an article, we don't have a slideshow example):
                      http://www.parismatch.com/Chroniques/Art-de-vivre/Lodge-Story-925785

                      We have perhaps a problem with the image sitemaps because we have in Google Sitemaps:

                      <image: loc="">http://cdn-parismatch.ladmedia.fr/var/news/storage/images/paris-match/culture/cinema/le-fils-de-saul-la-critique-763334/8067828-1-fre-FR/Le-Fils-de-Saul-la-critique.jpg</image:>

                      and in the HTML source:

                      the perhaps should be put in the same sitempas URLs as used in HTML?

                      Many thanks for your help ! 🙂

                        I see, thanks. Hmmm... did anything else change besides the re-design? Did the images URLs change, or did where they were being hosted change?

                        The current implementation doesn't show any issues, but I wonder if things were properly done in moving to the new design. Did you always have a slideshow format? Did the code change or just the design?

                          I'm agree with you. It's problematic because since website redesign, we record a fall of images traffic by Google 😞

                            Hi There

                            There does not appear to be any accessibility issues. I can crawl and access the images just fine with my crawler.

                            My guess is that since the images are duplicate, and they also exist on other websites, Google may be avoiding indexing them since they already are indexed and they are technically not being linked to with a normal tag.

                            Is this causing a particular issue for the site? Or is it just a pesky technical bug?

                              The display image is resized and indexed :

                                How are your images being fed into the site? Are you using a CDN?

                                  The robots.txt file doesn't block the images, I check it. The website is under Easy Publish.

                                    Hi Julien,

                                    I always start with robots.txt in these cases, but that looks OK.

                                    Is anything being blocked by JS? Something else to look at is if you are using something like Wordpress, there are plugins that can block access to these without you realising.

                                    Looking at the URL of the image, this appears to be hosted on a 3rd party site?

                                    -Andy

                                      Trying to get Google to stop indexing an old site!

                                      Howdy, I have a small dilemma. We built a new site for a client, but the old site is still ranking/indexed and we can't seem to get rid of it. We setup a 301 from the old site to the new one, as we have done many times before, but even though the old site is no longer live and the hosting package has been cancelled, the old site is still indexed. (The new site is at a completely different host.) We never had access to the old site, so we weren't able to request URL removal through GSC. Any guidance on how to get rid of the old site would be very appreciated. BTW, it's been about 60 days since we took these steps. Thanks, Kirk

                                      Why some domains and sub-domains have same DA, but some others don't?

                                      Hi I noticed for some blog providers in my country, which provide a sub-domian address for their blogs. the sub-domain authority is exactly as the main domain. Whereas, for some other blog providers  every subdomain has its different and lower authority. for example "ffff.blog.ir" and "blog.ir" both have domain authority of 60. It noteworthy to mention that the "ffff.blog.ir" does not even exist! This is while mihanblog.com and hfilm.mihanblog.com has diffrent page authority.

                                      Google Indexing Of Pages As HTTPS vs HTTP

                                      We recently updated our site to be mobile optimized.  As part of the update, we had also planned on adding SSL security to the site.  However, we use an iframe on a lot of our site pages from a third party vendor for real estate listings and that iframe was not SSL friendly and the vendor does not have that solution yet.  So, those iframes weren't displaying the content. As a result, we had to shift gears and go back to just being http and not the new https that we were hoping for. However, google seems to have indexed a lot of our pages as https and gives a security error to any visitors.  The new site was launched about a week ago and there was code in the htaccess file that was pushing to www and https.  I have fixed the htaccess file to no longer have https. My questions is will google "reindex" the site once it recognizes the new htaccess commands in the next couple weeks?

                                      Does content revealed by a 'show more' button get crawled by Google?

                                      I have a div on my website with around 500 words of unique content in, automatically when the page is first visited the div has a fixed height of 100px, showing a couple of hundred words and fading out to white, with a show more button, which when clicked, increases the height to show the full content. My question is, does Google crawl the content in that div when it renders the page? Or disregard it? Its all in the source code. Or worse, do they consider this cloaking or hidden content? It is only there to make the site more useable for customers, so i don't want to get penalised for it. Cheers

                                      Google indexing only 1 page out of 2 similar pages made for different cities

                                      We have created two category pages, in which we are showing products which could be delivered in separate cities. Both pages are related to cake delivery in that city. But out of these two category pages only 1 got indexed in google and other has not. Its been around 1 month but still only Bangalore category page got indexed. We have submitted sitemap and google is not giving any crawl error. We have also submitted for indexing from "Fetch as google" option in webmasters. www.winni.in/c/4/cakes (Indexed - Bangalore page - http://www.winni.in/sitemap/sitemap_blr_cakes.xml) 2. http://www.winni.in/hyderabad/cakes/c/4 (Not indexed - Hyderabad page - http://www.winni.in/sitemap/sitemap_hyd_cakes.xml) I tried searching for "hyderabad site:www.winni.in" in google but there also http://www.winni.in/hyderabad/cakes/c/4 this link is not coming, instead of this only www.winni.in/c/4/cakes is coming. Can anyone please let me know what could be the possible issue with this?

                                      Images Not Indexing? (Nudity Warning!) - Before & After Photos

                                      One of our clients is in the Cosmetic Surgery business (bodevolve.com) and individuals most likely to purchase a cosmetic procedure only search for 2 things....'**before & after photos' and 'cost'. ** That being said we've worked extremely hard to optimize all 500+ before and after photos. And to our great disappointment, they still aren't being indexed...we are testing a few things but any feedback would be greatly appreciated! All photos are in the 'attachment' sitemap: http://bodevolve.com/sitemap_index.xml I'm also testing a few squeeze pages like this one: http://bodevolve.com/tummy-tuck-before-and-after-photos/ Thanks so much, Brit

                                      Should I use both Google and Bing's Webmaster Tools at the same time?

                                      Hi All, Up till now I've been registered only to Google WMT. Do you recommend using at the same time Bing's WMT? Thanks
