Hi all
Is it normal that google, bing, yahoo etc. don't find any entries if I'm searching images? Several phpwcms sites are ranking very well on text results, but not a single image is listed in the image results. Why?
Thanks for help
Gerd

Re: search engines arn't finding images
Actually I was wondering about images CP, and result in frontend.
If you add some image, for example image.jpg in backend, and after that add it in Images CP (set WxH, check to open larger image on click), then that image in frontend will have path like this content/images/041fe8f3f4fab2bb30581e1bdd3234fe.jpg
I think this is reason why search engines cannot find your images by tags, or names.
If you add pictures in wysiwyg editor, then filename is preserved...
Correct me if I'm wrong...

The robots.txt I changed about 4 weeks ago to following:
But still no images in google, bing etc. I'm hopelessly stranded with this
Any ideas

Re: search engines arn't finding images
We should try to find out why this is so.
It could be the build of the HTML img- or scr lines.
Or is the reason for the cryptic filename?
You should test some placebo with different lines and/or speaking file names.
