          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!

                          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?

                              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 :

                                  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

                                          My url disappeared from Google but Search Console shows indexed. This url has been indexed for more than a year. Please help!

                                          Super weird problem that I can't solve for last 5 hours. One of my urls: https://www.dcacar.com/lax-car-service.html Has been indexed for more than a year and also has an AMP version, few hours ago I realized that it had disappeared from serps. We were ranking on page 1 for several key terms. When I perform a search "site:dcacar.com " the url is no where to be found  on all 5 pages. But when I check my Google Console it shows as indexed I requested to index again but nothing changed. All other 50 or so urls are not effected at all, this is the only url that has gone missing can someone solve this mystery for me please. Thanks a lot in advance.

                                          Google Indexing Of Pages As HTTPS vs HTTP

                                          We recently updated our site to be mobile optimized.  As part of the update, we had also planned on adding SSL security to the site.  However, we use an iframe on a lot of our site pages from a third party vendor for real estate listings and that iframe was not SSL friendly and the vendor does not have that solution yet.  So, those iframes weren't displaying the content. As a result, we had to shift gears and go back to just being http and not the new https that we were hoping for. However, google seems to have indexed a lot of our pages as https and gives a security error to any visitors.  The new site was launched about a week ago and there was code in the htaccess file that was pushing to www and https.  I have fixed the htaccess file to no longer have https. My questions is will google "reindex" the site once it recognizes the new htaccess commands in the next couple weeks?

                                          Images Not Indexing? (Nudity Warning!) - Before & After Photos

                                          One of our clients is in the Cosmetic Surgery business (bodevolve.com) and individuals most likely to purchase a cosmetic procedure only search for 2 things....'**before & after photos' and 'cost'. ** That being said we've worked extremely hard to optimize all 500+ before and after photos. And to our great disappointment, they still aren't being indexed...we are testing a few things but any feedback would be greatly appreciated! All photos are in the 'attachment' sitemap: http://bodevolve.com/sitemap_index.xml I'm also testing a few squeeze pages like this one: http://bodevolve.com/tummy-tuck-before-and-after-photos/ Thanks so much, Brit

                                          How can I get a list of every url of a site in Google's index?

                                          I work on a site that has almost 20,000 urls in its site map. Google WMT claims 28,000 indexed and a search on Google shows 33,000. I'd like to find what the difference is. Is there a way to get an excel sheet with every url Google has indexed for a site? Thanks... Mike

                                          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?

                                          Our login pages are being indexed by Google - How do you remove them?

                                          Each of our login pages show up under different subdomains of our website. Currently these are accessible by Google which is a huge competitive advantage for our competitors looking for our client list. We've done a few things to try to rectify the problem: -  No index/archive to each login page Robot.txt to all subdomains to block search engines gone into webmaster tools and added the subdomain of one of our bigger clients then requested to remove it from Google (This would be great to do for every subdomain but we have a LOT of clients and it would require tons of backend work to make this happen.) Other than the last option, is there something we can do that will remove subdomains from being viewed from search engines? We know the robots.txt are working since the message on search results say: "A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt – learn more." But we'd like the whole link to disappear.. Any suggestions?

                                          My website hasn't been cached for over a month. Can anyone tell me why?

                                          I have been working on an eCommerce site www.fuchia.co.uk. I have asked an earlier question about how to get it working and ranking and I took on board what people said (such as optimising product pages etc...) and I think i'm getting there. The problem I have now is that Google hasn't indexed my site in over a month and the homepage cache is 404'ing when I check it on Google. At the moment there is a problem with the site being live for both WWW and non-WWW versions, i have told google in Webmaster what preferred domain to use and will also be getting developers to do 301 to the preferred domain. Would this be the problem stopping Google properly indexing me? also I'm only having around 30 pages of 137 indexed from the last crawl. Can anyone tell me or suggest why my site hasn't been indexed in such a long time? Thanks
