          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

                                          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 😄

                                          Can you index a Google doc?

                                          We have updated and added completely new content to our state pages. Our old state content is sitting in a our Google drive. Can I make these public to get them indexed and provide a link back to our state pages? In theory it sounds like a great link building strategy... TIA!

                                          Long story but now i have a few links from my site 301 redirecting to youtube videos or eCommerce stores. 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!

                                          Why Google isn't indexing my images?

                                          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

                                          Help! The website ranks fine but one of my web pages simply won't rank on Google!!!

                                          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: *

                                          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?

                                          301 doesn't redirect a page that ends in %20, and others being appended with ?q=

                                          I have a product page that ends /product-name**%20** that I'm trying to redirect in this way: Redirect 301 /products/product-name%20 http://www.site.com/products/product-name And it doesn't redirect at all. The others, those with %20, are being redirected to a url hybrid of old and new: http://www.site.com/products/product-name**?q=old-url** I'm using Drupal CMS, and it may be creating rules that counter my entries.
