Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi John,

Thank you for your response. I do have GA and WMT and I check them often. I did not have them on my OS Commerce  site and this was one of the reasons I changed over.

I will take a look at the GTMetrix site and see if that is something that can help. So having  dedicated hosting helps rankings more so than a shared hosting situation ? I did not know that I thought it was all about links and domain and page authority.

Thanks for your information.

Hello Ryan,

I spoke with Godaddy today and they said their platform/program is hard coded to give each image a unique name (number).

Also I watched the Danny Dover WBF and he mentions in the video that the file name is algorithmically generated and was "just a bunch of numbers". Is that not what he is talking about ?

Thanks again for all of your information. I think for now I am going to have to make do with what I have, as finding a developer and or learning an entire new shopping cart is going to be expensive and to time consuming.

Hello Ryan,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post. I have looked over what you have said and changed the ALT tag. But the image name is exactly what you said it should be. I think the QSC assigns the numerical names to the images, which sucks.

I will have to call go daddy and find out if it is something I can actually do.

Thanks again,

Olga.

Hey All,

Im Olga and new to search engine optimization and web development.

I recently changed from O S Commerce to Go daddy Quick shopping Cart. Before on my old site I had a lot of images show up on google searches on the first page in the image section that have recently vanished due to the change. I think that is where the majority of my sales were coming from as I did not really rank for any keyword searches.

My old web designer did everything for my old site and told me a year ago he was to busy to help me out anymore and I did not know how to work OS Commerce hence the change to quick shopping cart.

Does anyone know how to get images back into google images, or any other beginner strategies to help me rank in google. I have used all of the tools on this program and pretty much got everything figured out only I think the industry I am in is VERY competitive.

Would love any advice or help.

Thanks,
