    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 :

                                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

                                    Do you know if an H1 within a div that has a 'display: none' style applied will still be crawled and evaluated by Google? We have that situation on this page on line 136: view-source:https://www.junk-king.com/services/items-we-take/foreclosure-cleanouts Of course we also have an H1 up at the top of the page and are concerned that the second one will cause interference with our SEO efforts. I've seen conflicting and inconclusive information on line - not sure. Thanks for any help.

                                    How does educational organization schema interact with Google's knowledge graph?

                                    Hi there! I was just wondering if the granular options of the Organization schema, like Educational Organization (http://schema.org/EducationalOrganization) and CollegeOrUniversity (http://schema.org/CollegeOrUniversity) schema work the same when it comes to pulling data into the knowledge graph. I've typically always used the Organization schema for customers but was wondering if there are any drawbacks for going deep into the hierarchy of schema. Cheers 😄

                                    If Robots.txt have blocked an Image (Image URL) but the other page which can be indexed has this image, how is the image treated?

                                    Hi MOZers, This probably is a dumb question but I have a case where the robots.tags has an image url blocked but this image is used on a page (lets call it Page A) which can be indexed. If the image on Page A has an Alt tags, then how is this information digested by crawlers? A) would Google totally ignore the image and the ALT tags information? OR B) Google would consider the ALT tags information? I am asking this because all the images on the website are blocked by robots.txt at the moment but I would really like website crawlers to crawl the alt tags information. Chances are that I will ask the webmaster to allow indexing of images too but I would like to understand what's happening currently. Looking forward to all your responses 🙂 Malika

                                    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.

                                    How to find all indexed pages in Google?

                                    Hi, We have an ecommerce site with around 4000 real pages. But our index count is at 47,000 pages in Google Webmaster Tools. How can I get a list of all pages indexed of our domain? trying to locate the duplicate content. Doing a "site:www.mydomain.com" only returns up to 676 results... Any ideas? Thanks, Ben

                                    Best way to permanently remove URLs from the Google index?

                                    We have several subdomains we use for testing applications. Even if we block with robots.txt, these subdomains still appear to get indexed (though they show as blocked by robots.txt. I've claimed these subdomains and requested permanent removal, but it appears that after a certain time period (6 months)? Google will re-index (and mark them as blocked by robots.txt). What is the best way to permanently remove these from the index? We can't use login to block because our clients want to be able to view these applications without needing to login. What is the next best solution?

                                    Wordpress blog in a subdirectory not being indexed by Google

                                    HI MozzersIn my websites sitemap.xml, pages are listed, such as /blog/ and /blog/textile-fact-or-fiction-egyptian-cotton-explained/These pages are visible when you visit them in a browser and when you use the Google Webmaster tool - Fetch as Google to view them (see attachment), however they aren't being indexed in Google, not even the root directory for the blog (/blog/) is being indexed, and when we query:site: www.hilden.co.uk/blog/ It returns 0 results in Google.Also note that:The Wordpress installation is located at /blog/ which is a subdirectory of the main root directory which is managed by Magento. I'm wondering if this causing the problem.Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!AnthonyToTOHuj.png?1
