    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 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?

                        Thanks Dan !

                        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 :

                            ![](<a class=)http://resize3-parismatch.ladmedia.fr/r/901,,forcex/img/var/news/storage/images/paris-match/people/television/sport-a-la-tele-les-femmes-a-l-abordage-962989/le-bateau-ne-tangue-pas-sur-france-televisions/13636303-1-fre-FR/Le-bateau-ne-tangue-pas-sur-France-Televisions.jpg"/>

                            and the full size image is in META but not 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

                                    Google not Indexing images on CDN.

                                    My URL is: http://bit.ly/1H2TArH We have set up a CDN on our own domain: http://bit.ly/292GkZC  We have an image sitemap: http://bit.ly/29ca5s3 The image sitemap uses the CDN URLs. We verified the CDN subdomain in GWT. The robots.txt does not restrict any of the photos: http://bit.ly/29eNSXv. We used to have a disallow to /thumb/ which had a 301 redirect to our CDN but we removed both the disallow in the robots.txt as well as the 301. Yet, GWT still reports none of our images on the CDN are indexed. The above screenshot is from the GWT of our main domain.The GWT from the CDN subdomain just shows 0. We did not submit a sitemap to the verified subdomain property because we already have a sitemap submitted to the property on the main domain name. While making a search of images indexed from our CDN, nothing comes up: http://bit.ly/293ZbC1While checking the GWT of the CDN subdomain, I have been getting crawling errors, mainly 500 level errors. Not that many in comparison to the number of images and traffic that we get on our website. Google is crawling, but it seems like it just doesn't index the pictures!? Can anyone help? I have followed all the information that I was able to find on the web but yet, our images on the CDN still can't seem to get indexed.

                                    Hello, on my fairly new website Worthminer.com I am noticing that Google is not indexing images from my sitemap. Already 560 images submitted and Google indexed only 3 of them. Altough there is more images indexed they are not indexing any new images, and I have no idea why. Posts, categories and other urls are indexing just fine, but images not. I am using Wordpress and for sitemaps Wordpress SEO by yoast. Am I missing something here? Why Google won't index my images? Thanks, I appreciate any help, David xv1GtwK.jpg

                                    One of our web pages will not rank on Google.  The website as a whole ranks fine except just one section...We have tested and it looks fine...Google can crawl the page no problem.   There are no spurious redirects in place. The content is fine.  There is no duplicate page content issue.  The page has a dozen product images (photos) but the load time of the page is absolutely fine.  We have the submitted the page via webmaster and its fine.  It gets listed but then a few hours later disappears!!!  The site has not been penalised as we get good rankings with other pages.  Can anyone help?  Know about this problem?

                                    Can't crawl website with Screaming frog... what is wrong?

                                    Hello all - I've just been trying to crawl a site with Screaming Frog and can't get beyond the homepage - have done the usual stuff (turn off JS and so on) and no problems there with nav and so on- the site's other pages have indexed in Google btw. Now I'm wondering whether there's a problem with this robots.txt file, which I think may be auto-generated by Joomla (I'm not familiar with Joomla...) - are there any issues here? [just checked... and there isn't!] If the Joomla site is installed within a folder such as at e.g. www.example.com/joomla/ the robots.txt file MUST be moved to the site root at e.g. www.example.com/robots.txt AND the joomla folder name MUST be prefixed to the disallowed path, e.g. the Disallow rule for the /administrator/ folder MUST be changed to read Disallow: /joomla/administrator/ For more information about the robots.txt standard, see: http://www.robotstxt.org/orig.html For syntax checking, see: http://tool.motoricerca.info/robots-checker.phtml User-agent: *
                                    Disallow: /administrator/
                                    Disallow: /bin/
                                    Disallow: /cache/
                                    Disallow: /cli/
                                    Disallow: /components/
                                    Disallow: /includes/
                                    Disallow: /installation/
                                    Disallow: /language/
                                    Disallow: /layouts/
                                    Disallow: /libraries/
                                    Disallow: /logs/
                                    Disallow: /modules/
                                    Disallow: /plugins/
                                    Disallow: /tmp/

                                    Does Google Read URL's if they include a # tag? Re: SEO Value of Clean Url's

                                    An ECWID rep stated in regards to an inquiry about how the ECWID url's are not customizable, that "an important thing is that it doesn't matter what these URLs look like, because search engines don't read anything after that # in URLs. " Example http://www.runningboards4less.com/general-motors#!/Classic-Pro-Series-Extruded-2/p/28043025/category=6593891 Basically all of this: #!/Classic-Pro-Series-Extruded-2/p/28043025/category=6593891 That is a snippet out of a conversation where ECWID said that dirty urls don't matter beyond a hashtag... Is that true? I haven't found any rule that Google or other search engines (Google is really the most important) don't index, read, or place value on the part of the url after a # tag.

                                    Does Google index url with hashtags?

                                    We are setting up some Jquery tabs in a page that will produce the same url with hashtags. For example: index.php#aboutus, index.php#ourguarantee, etc. We don't want that content to be crawled as we'd like to prevent duplicate content. Does Google normally crawl such urls or does it just ignore them? Thanks in advance.

                                    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
