Hi there,
I don't have the time to digg deeper into that - sorry....
But I just made some search request (in google.at image search thought) and did find some results:
e.g. "black diamond earrings" - http://www.google.at/search?hl=de&rlz=1T4GGLG_deAT305AT213&biw=1259&bih=817&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=black+diamond+earrings&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=
--> you are there on the first page with a huge n° of results.another search was (very exact term):
You see the first result of that search? This is the same image as you do have on your website. So you have some competitors for the same images.
Apart from that there are several more factors of the whole website if you are trustworthy. And try to be less spamy with your image names - 12794_Mens_On_Sale_Gold_10K_Round_Cut_Cut_Black_Color_AAA_900ct_8093.jpeg is e.g. quiet spamy.
But I think you are on the right way - hope this helps a little bit.

Hi there, there are several factors important:
The most important ones are:
- the keyword must be in the name of the images (e.g. you have several images named with numbers img9325430644.jpeg --> nobody is searching for "img9325430644"
- the keyword(s) must be in the surrounded area of the image(s)
- the size of the image (bad if they are too small or too large)
- the keyword should be in the alt text and in the title of the page (the title attribute has no impact on seo)
- the keyword relevancy of the whole page
- the age of the image (the older - the better)
- the originality (the more unique the image is the better)
- the better the page where the image is on is linked - the faster the image gets indexed
- if the image is used several times the images seems to be more important to Google and the chance of its indexation increases
- image xml sitemap
I hope I didn't forget some items - but those are certainly the most important ones.

Google search returns blog homepage, but not article
When I do a google search for a specific article on our blog the search results only return the blog homepage with the article title shown in the meta description, but never the actual article page. I've tried to refine my search by using site: and quotation marks around the article title (e.g site:www.example.com "article title") but still only get the homepage. Our blog is showing up so I assume it's not an indexing issue, but not sure how to get the article pages to show on serps. Any ideas? Thanks!

Tips for Getting a Very Small Site to Rank
I am working on a very small (two page) site for a client, and trying to rank for some very competitive local terms. The site is www.arlingtonbuilders.com, and our terms center around local cities (like Arlington) plus "custom homes," "custom renovations," etc. I feel very limited in terms of what I can do on the site, and I'm building citations offsite, but I feel stuck. I'd love some tips for helping them rank better without building out an entire site.

Is the HTML content inside an image slideshow of a website crawled by Google?
I am building a website for a client and i am in a dilemma whether to go for an image slideshow with HTML content on the slides or go for a static full size image on the homepage. My concern is that HTML content on the slideshow may not get crawled by Google and hence may not be SEO friendly.

Can anybody tell us why Google changes your title tag in the SERP? If you check out the below link or type in 'days inn', you will see the 2nd result for www.daysinnrc.co.uk just says 'Days Inn' but on the actual site the title tag for this page is 'Days Inn UK | Days Inn | Daysinnrc.co.uk' http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=days+inn&oq=days+inn&gs_l=hp.3...4110.4110.4.4297.1.1.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0...0.0...1c.1.kWVC24EnCHE&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=7680231318a44bb0&bpcl=35466521&biw=1920&bih=934 This has happened with another site too, does anybody know why?

Indexed pages in Google webmaster tools
Hi Mozzers, Very quick question. Google WM tools interface has updated and I want to confirm I'm looking at the correct figure. If I look up 'Your site on the web' / 'search queries' / then the 'pages' - this is correct indexation figure yes? This differs from the 'site:' command but that's always the case. Can anyone confirm, Thanks

Strange Keywords Google Webmaster Tools
Hey, I have a website about "coffee machines". Since a few months I added a vBulletin forum with vbSEO installed. The keywords Google found before I added the forum where highly related to the topic of my website (e.g. "coffee", "machine" etc), which I checked through the webmaster tools. However, I recently checked again and noticed that Google finds mostly keywords like "post", "forum", "thread", "share" etc. with high significance. Those "keywords" only appear on the forum. Now I'm a bit worried since Google states "These should reflect the subject matter of your site." Any advice how to solve that issue? Thanks!
