OK anytime anyone is available to chime in…

I think I found out why my site is listed as unsafe. There is a porno site linking to me or hotlinking my images or something. I have hotlink protection turned on in Cpanel though…

What can I do to escape from this awful situation?

Thanks!! Really appreciate any advice!

Unbelievable! After a ton of reading, I discovered my images are all listed as Safesearch Off. It is just stuff about nail designs!!! I have no idea why. 92 images indexed… that is almost half.

site:diynaildesigns.com & Change safesearch to off…

Any ideas how to get the images labeled more appropriately so they are not safe search off only?

Thanks!

Also, from Webmaster tools, not sure if this is of any importance:

Test results
Url Googlebot Googlebot-Image
https://diynaildesigns.com/ Allowed
Detected as a directory; specific files may have different restrictions Allowed
Detected as a directory; specific files may have different restrictions

Thanks – I did make a few small modifications to help speed up the site. I still can’t figure out how to get google images to index anything at all…

If you have any other ideas, I am completely open to them. Thanks again for your help.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I do have a Google Webmaster account – I am still figuring out what to check out as far as those stats go. Let me know if you want to know anything in particular.

How can I tell how often Google is visiting or indexing? The crawl stats say pages per day range from 50 to 106 to 222….

Here is something that seems really bad…

“Performance overview
On average, pages in your site take 15.0 seconds to load (updated on Nov 12, 2010). This is slower than 99% of sites. These estimates are of low accuracy (fewer than 100 data points). The chart below shows how your site’s average page load time has changed over the last few months. For your reference, it also shows the 20th percentile value across all sites, separating slow and fast load times.”

Minimize redirects

I don’t think I know how to fix this stuff. Wonder if this could be the problem – maybe Google doesn’t like the site since it takes too long…

Thanks again!

Thanks! I will see what I can do about that. Do you think it has anything to do with the images not indexing?

Perhaps – but I always used the diynaildesigns.com URL, even with the blogger platform. I never had the url diynaildesigns.blogspot.com – it is just what was left when I moved my domain… Would that still matter? I am not sure how to do a redirect for blogspot since I don’t technically own the .blogspot url…

Appreciate your thoughts and tips!

Also, I do have sitemaps submitted for the regular sitemap as well as the image sitemap.

The image sitemap did show fewer images in google webmaster tools than I actually have in the WP library.

Thanks for taking a look at my issue.

OMG you are right – I never took the blogspot down after I moved my domain from blogger platform to WP even though I was using my custom domain… The old site is https://diynaildesigns.blogspot.com/. But I think I told it not to show up in search engines…

Could this be the reason? Now what?

Also, in the results you provided, someone is completely ripping off my content – thanks for posting that so now I know… looks like I have other problems to deal with. They are taking photos and all – AND to boot, MY photos are showing up in THEIR results for google images…. Not sure what I can even do about that…

In fact, 13 of the images showing on the first page of search for their site are my images, poached. All of the nail art photos but 1 are taken directly from my site.

Could this have anything to do with why mine are not being indexed?

Thanks! I think the problem is specific to Google Images, not Google Ranking in general, since my site doesn’t have a single image indexed out of like 250 or so. One of my other sites only has about 8 images total and most (not all) of them are indexed. My Joomla site has no problem getting images indexed. To me it seems like something is off, since I don’t have even one image indexed after months and months of working on the site. Most of the images I publish on this site are 100% unique, taken with my own camera or from someone I’ve hired to do photography for my site.

Here is the Robots file:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /cgi-bin/1

The site itself is over a year old – at least 14 months. It used to be in Blogger and I moved it over to WP early this summer. I am not as familiar with WP as I am with Joomla, so I was thinking maybe I didn’t have a certain setting set correctly or something.

Thanks again!!

Indeed! Here is an example:

<a href="https://diynaildesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/fall-turkey-nail-designs.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-769" style="border: 2px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Fall Turkey Nail Designs" src="https://diynaildesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/fall-turkey-nail-designs-300x194.jpg" alt="DIY Fall Turkey Nail Art Manicure" width="300" height="194" /></a>

If you have any changes, please let me know…

Thanks for your continued help!

Thanks esmi! Any other ideas what it could be?
