Has anyone else's logo not display when a Web Search is done. I have correctly configured it. However all I see is an "x" as if the image could not be found. But if I type the exact url of it into my browser, it comes up just fine. I have never had any problems linking to my images from other sites. I don't have hotlink protection enabled.

Maybe you have something to stop your graphics being leached by other sites? Some people only accept requests from their own domain to avoid high bandwidth costs. Do you have the correct address for the image? The most likely thing seems to be a typing error on your part - eg leaving out http:// or getting the case of the filename incorrect eg logo.gif instead of LOGO.gif.

As I have already said, I don't have hotlink protection enabled. (This is preventing others from linking to your files, aka leeching.)

I also said that when I view the image directly, it appears. (I do this by right-clicking the "x" image, select properties and cut and paste the url displayed into my browser. Therefore I know I gave google the correct url.)

I'll probably get this link removed from my message because its "spam" or easy marketing. I am merely posting it to help others understand and see the problem. It is much easier to solve a problem when the problem is visible.

I tried your logo on the search and, as you said, it doesn't work.. typed in the url for the logo and it came up. I haven't had any problems with my logo on my adsense search page.

Your logo works fine for me (Opera).

Is your web server case sensitive to image paths? This can cause broken images.
