Google image update started Sept 25 - many images went missing

[zeus]

Hmm it looks like they are now ruin the good update for 3-4 month ago, now to many images again gets filtered and a lot of images are lost with "moderate search off".

I had hoped that Google now would keep the good results, they where close to Bing image results, but now they are back on Place two for image search.

Its a shame

Strange situation on image results.

I have several websites, in 3 of them there are some issues with images.

I haven't problems with bandwidth i never block scrappers, many stolen images, put a direct link i never care about it, because it's a link.

PR4 (non-English) > 12000 visitors/day

one url in top10 results page ( not main site url), get 100 visitors a day, dropped to 120 position (organic).

images gone from images GG search.

I saw a complete copy of this page in a blogspot website, with adult content.

Blocking all access to the offender, images came back, old result for that url came back too.

PR4 (non-English) > 1500 visitors/day

all images gone from google search except 5 (not important for search)

when i search for a term in image alt i get many images in first, my images, my graphics but, in others websites wich copy all content.

same names , same alts....

position in serp organic is the same but, in caffeine isn't.

anyone try EXIF or images properties, maybe this can solve this issue, some one have a ideia how to solve this ?

PR3 (English) - 400 visitors/day

more then 90% of images gone, more then 400 images

Results for images came from sites linking images from my site, good serp position for sites PR-1 and PR-0 with my images (fantastic).

it's a commercial website, if i block it i'm blocking products i want people see.

Any ideas how to solve this ? waiting until GG wake up ?

I have more sites wich i don't see any problem in images GG results.

Sorry my bad English.
