    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?

                  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 :

                                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

                                    After hack and remediation, thousands of URL's still appearing as 'Valid' in google search console. How to remedy?

                                    I'm working on a site that was hacked in March 2019 and in the process, nearly 900,000 spam links were generated and indexed. After remediation of the hack in April 2019, the spammy URLs began dropping out of the index until last week, when Search Console showed around 8,000 as "Indexed, not submitted in sitemap" but listed as "Valid" in the coverage report and many of them are still hack-related URLs that are listed as being indexed in March 2019, despite the fact that clicking on them leads to a 404. As of this Saturday, the number jumped up to 18,000, but I have no way of finding out using the search console reports why the jump happened or what are the new URLs that were added, the only sort mechanism is last crawled and they don't show up there. How long can I expect it to take for these remaining urls to also be removed from the index? Is there any way to expedite the process? I've submitted a 'new' sitemap several times, which (so far) has not helped. Is there any way to see inside the new GSC view why/how the number of valid URLs in the indexed doubled over one weekend?

                                    How do internal search results get indexed by Google?

                                    Hi all, Most of the URLs that are created by using the internal search function of a website/web shop shouldn't be indexed since they create duplicate content or waste crawl budget. The standard way to go is to 'noindex, follow' these pages or sometimes to use robots.txt to disallow crawling of these pages. The first question I have is how these pages actually would get indexed in the first place if you wouldn't use one of the options above. Crawlers follow links to index a website's pages. If a random visitor comes to your site and uses the search function, this creates a URL. There are no links leading to this URL, it is not in a sitemap, it can't be found through navigating on the website,... so how can search engines index these URLs that were generated by using an internal search function? Second question: let's say somebody embeds a link on his website pointing to a URL from your website that was created by an internal search. Now let's assume you used robots.txt to make sure these URLs weren't indexed. This means Google won't even crawl those pages. Is it possible then that the link that was used on another website will show an empty page after a while, since Google doesn't even crawl this page? Thanks for your thoughts guys.

                                    In Google Search Console, when you request the (re) indexing of a fetched page, what's the average amount of time it takes to re-index and does it vary that much from site to site or are manual re-index request put in a queue and served on a first come - first serve basis despite the site characteristics like domain/page authority?

They carry a considerable amount of traffic that i benefit from so i can't take them down, and that traffic is people from other websites, so basically i have backlinks from places that i don't own, to my redirect urls (Ex. http://example.com/redirect) My problem is that google is indexing them and doesn't let them go, i have tried blocking that url from robots.txt but google is still indexing it uncrawled, i have also tried allowing google to crawl it and adding noindex from robots.txt, i have tried removing it from GWT but it pops back again after a few days. Any ideas? Thanks!

                                    Is there a way to get a list of Total Indexed pages from Google Webmaster Tools?

                                    I'm doing a detailed analysis of how Google sees and indexes our website and we have found that there are 240,256 pages in the index which is way too many. It's an e-commerce site that needs some tidying up. I'm working with an SEO specialist to set up URL parameters and put information in to the robots.txt file so the excess pages aren't indexed (we shouldn't have any more than around 3,00 - 4,000 pages) but we're struggling to find a way to get a list of these 240,256 pages as it would be helpful information in deciding what to put in the robots.txt file and which URL's we should ask Google to remove. Is there a way to get a list of the URL's indexed? We can't find it in the Google Webmaster Tools.

                                    Why are bit.ly links being indexed and ranked by Google?

                                    I did a quick search for "site:bit.ly" and it returns more than 10 million results. Given that bit.ly links are 301 redirects, why are they being indexed in Google and ranked according to their destination? I'm working on a similar project to bit.ly and I want to make sure I don't run into the same problem.

                                    Google Indexing Feedburner Links???

                                    I just noticed that for lots of the articles on my website, there are two results in Google's index. For instance: http://www.thewebhostinghero.com/articles/tools-for-creating-wordpress-plugins.html and http://www.thewebhostinghero.com/articles/tools-for-creating-wordpress-plugins.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+thewebhostinghero+(TheWebHostingHero.com) Now my Feedburner feed is set to "noindex" and it's always been that way. The canonical tag on the webpage is set to: rel='canonical' href='http://www.thewebhostinghero.com/articles/tools-for-creating-wordpress-plugins.html' /> The robots tag is set to: name="robots" content="index,follow,noodp" /> I found out that there are scrapper sites that are linking to my content using the Feedburner link. So should the robots tag be set to "noindex" when the requested URL is different from the canonical URL? If so, is there an easy way to do this in Wordpress?
