          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

                                          Google does not want to index my page

                                          I have a site that is hundreds of page indexed on Google. But there is a page that I put in the footer section that Google seems does not like and are not indexing that page. I've tried submitting it to their index through google webmaster and it will appear on Google index but then after a few days it's gone again. Before that page had canonical meta to another page, but it is removed now.

                                          Will disallowing URL's in the robots.txt file stop those URL's being indexed by Google

                                          I found a lot of duplicate title tags showing in Google Webmaster Tools. When I visited the URL's that these duplicates belonged to, I found that they were just images from a gallery that we didn't particularly want Google to index. There is no benefit to the end user in these image pages being indexed in Google. Our developer has told us that these urls are created by a module and are not "real" pages in the CMS. They would like to add the following to our robots.txt file Disallow: /catalog/product/gallery/ QUESTION: If the these pages are already indexed by Google, will this adjustment to the robots.txt file help to remove the pages from the index? We don't want these pages to be found.

                                          Does Google Index URLs that are always 302 redirected

                                          Hello community Due to the architecture of our site, we have a bunch of URLs that are 302 redirected to the same URL plus a query string appended to it. For example: www.example.com/hello.html is 302 redirected to www.example.com/hello.html?___store=abc The www.example.com/hello.html?___store=abc page also has a link canonical tag to www.example.com/hello.html In the above example, can www.example.com/hello.html every be Indexed, by google as I assume the googlebot will always be redirected to www.example.com/hello.html?___store=abc and will never see www.example.com/hello.html ? Thanks in advance for the help!

                                          Pages are Indexed but not Cached by Google. Why?

                                          Here's an example: I get a 404 error for this: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.qjamba.com/restaurants-coupons/ferguson/mo/all But a search for qjamba restaurant coupons gives a clear result as does this: site:http://www.qjamba.com/restaurants-coupons/ferguson/mo/all What is going on?  How can this page be indexed but not in the Google cache? I should make clear that the page is not showing up with any kind of error in webmaster tools, and Google has been crawling pages just fine.  This particular page was fetched by Google yesterday with no problems, and even crawled again twice today by Google  Yet, no cache.

                                          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.

                                          What Happens If a Hreflang Sitemap Doesn't Include Every Language for Missing Translated Pages?

                                          As we are building a hreflang sitemap for a client, we are correctly implementing the tag across 5 different languages including English. However, the News and Events section was never translated into any of the other four languages. There are also a few pages that were translated into some but not all of the 4 languages. Is it good practice to still list out the individual non-translated pages like on a regular sitemap without a hreflang tag? Should the hreflang sitemap include the hreflang tag with pages that are missing a few language translations (when one or two language translations may be missing)? We are uncertain if this inconsistency would create a problem and we would like some feedback before pushing the hreflang sitemap live.

                                          Is 404'ing a page enough to remove it from Google's index?

                                          We set some pages to 404 status about 7 months ago, but they are still showing in Google's index (as 404's). Is there anything else I need to do to remove these?

                                          Should I prevent Google from indexing blog tag and category pages?

                                          I am working on a website that has a regularly updated Wordpress blog and am unsure whether or not the category and tag pages should be indexable. The blog posts are often outranked by the tag and category pages and they are ultimately leaving me with a duplicate content issue. With this in mind, I assumed that the best thing to do would be to remove the tag and category pages from the index, but after speaking to someone else about the issue, I am no longer sure. I have tried researching online, but there isn't anything that provided any further information. Please can anyone with any experience of dealing with issues like this or with any knowledge of the topic help me to resolve this annoying issue. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Paul
