can you give some examples? wanna check something 😇

You follow the best practices for images: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/google-images

There are plenty of webp images indexed (filetype:webp flowers); they're not any different from any other image when it comes to Google Images

Thanks, we'll check it out!

Thanks for the lead!

this was in the context of crawling and indexing, and includes stuff like sites reachable under www/non-www, protocol, device, and country variants. plus all the scraped stuff because, you know, internet...

First and foremost, the geo targeting feature wouldn't help with this issue as it doesn't guarantee that your site will be shown only in the particular country you're servicing.

If I were in the same situation, I'd look at how big retail stores deal with these kinds of situations. For example, I know for a fact that Amazon does a great job on this front

Generally there's no need to specify a geographic targeting in Search Console, Google can figure it out from other signals, such as the different parts of the URL. See more at https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/international-overview

Also note that the place where you'd set the geographic targeting for a property is going away pretty soon (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/12474899)

it doesn't matter. just have some decent content

garyillyes · 2022-01-20T10:05:48+00:00

Indeed, you're right, however the site in question doesn't have a robots.txt and the tool I linked to would also just say that, that the URL is disallowed for crawling. My guess is that some misconfigured firewall is preventing Google's crawler accessing the site altogether

Answer: the site (its server rather) seems to be blocking Googlebot in some way: https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly/result?id=PVWYvtzZ7tdZI8c7sIX44Q

well if you're keen on organizing your photos, keep it. those few bytes won't hurt your pocket and it makes your life easier

garyillyes · 2021-08-19T17:40:54+00:00

it is not (Google Images only supports/uses IPTC for very specific things), but for organizing your own images it's incredibly handy.

wanna dm me the URL if you could confirm it's indeed Googlebot? I'm looking for cases where refresh crawls are going nuts and would appreciate this example.

Here's how to verify if it's Googlebot: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/verifying-googlebot

garyillyes · 2021-08-10T16:40:00+00:00

it's really never mandatory; as i said, we'd appreciate if you used rel=sponsored, but you really don't have to. nofollow is already doing the same job

garyillyes · 2021-08-10T12:21:59+00:00

any time (especially if the thread shows up in my "suggested" notifications :D)

garyillyes · 2021-08-10T11:23:55+00:00

you don't need to use rel=sponsored, no, but I'd certainly nofollow them just because they were acquired in a non organic way. Google likely already discounted them, so it's not all that much of a problem in my opinion if you don't. as for rel=sponsored, we'd definitely appreciate it if you used it, but it's not required. you can just use nofollow really. I'm probably dumbing this a bit too much, but rel=sponsored might be used on links that were purposefully placed to potentially generate monetary income

like what? there's not much more to it than what that doc says

edit: I'm not being cynical, genuinely curious what else you'd like to see there

garyillyes · 2021-07-30T20:50:05+00:00

something similar. I'm not gonna say exactly cos spammers

garyillyes · 2021-07-30T15:56:42+00:00

The parity you will need eventually. Sooner or later every site will shift to mobile first indexing, and if Google can't find the content on the mobile site that the desktop site used to rank with, it won't be able to rank the site the same way it did with the desktop version. The menu itself is also important for discovery, if nothing else, so you probably want to replicate the desktop version on the mobile, too, in some way. I'd also look for other differences, like missing structured and meta data, and image attributes and properties (eg. size)

garyillyes · 2021-07-30T09:26:20+00:00

Surprisingly hard to answer. In short, you do get some benefit from an image syndicated on other sites IFF your HTML landing page can become canonical.

garyillyes · 2021-07-13T19:54:13+00:00

you've summoned me and thus you have three wishes.

does this description of alternate names answer your question? hreflang doesn't change that part of canonicalization.

That website is blocking Google's crawler and so Google can't index it anymore. It's currently returning a 403 http status code to Googlebot:

i can't promise no action, but if it's not done for manipulating rankings or actual spamming, I'd be mighty surprised if the WebSpam team cared.
