My map url was submitted several months ago, and it's taken forever to archive other images. These two images whoever were the first, and were the 1st result for their labeled search string.
Has anyone had this before? I don't see why an image would get archived, never have anything adjusted and then disappear form Google's archive.
New sites/content tends to fluctuate in and out of the search results.
Pages in the supplemental index will have their images removed from the image index. Get more links to the image pages and make sure that there is sufficient text on these pages.
Hotlinkers with adult content and other factors can cause your non-adult images to be incorrectly filtered as unsafe. Turn image search filtering off to see if your images reappear.
If they are stolen (not hotlinked), your images may get filtered out and/or knocked down in rankings (this is a new one that I'm now dealing with). I'm not sure if it's just some temporary experiment to deal with duplicate images in the image search results, but this one is really hurting me... It's DMCA notice time for this one.
The pages have PICS-Label" content='(PICS-1.1 "http://www.classify.org/safesurf/" L gen true
There is a hotlink filter in place [.htaccess] but that still allowed the search engines to cache etc.
1. It's taking forever to have the images archived (I submitted around 150 high quality images with proper file naming.
2. It appears I can only have two of those images up at one time. ONe day image #1 will be up, along with image #2. Next week, image 2 will be up, by image #1 will be gone. In it's place will be image #3. It never keeps adding.
3. The ranking is really good. #1 in some cases for a fairly generic search of two words.
Is this a problem with the advanced image indexing option in webmaster tools?
