Google Image Search
chiaroscuro —Sun, 07/20/2008 - 23:23
I came across a rather interesting article here
In the article it describes how one can check to see how many images are displayed on a particular site with Google Image Search.
So I typed in "site:userlogos.org" in Google image Search and this was the result.
So for this site, no images came up at all.
Let us hope that this situation will improve fairly soon
Most of the time, Google Image updates are very slow! It will take a minimum of one month for Google image to index your images. I’ve even seen an image take up to a year before appearing
Interestingly an image search in Microsoft's Live Search proved much more rewarding.

i have no idea why google doesnt index the logos..
but ever since microsoft tried to buy out yahoo, all they have been doing is improving their search - trying to beat google, i guess their image search is much better now..

At no 11 on the page mentioned above reference is made to the following:
11. Webmaster Tools Google, MSN, Yahoo
Use Google Webmaster Tools. Goto Dashboard > Select your site > Tools > Enhanced image search and check the option “I would like to enable enhanced image search on my site and am authorized to opt into this advanced service”. Create and submit your xml sitemap. Also use Microsoft Webmaster Center to add your xml sitemap and get some interesting statistics. Yahoo’s webmaster central is called Site Explorer and you should also use it.
I wonder do you not think that it might be worth following up particularly the Google Webmaster Tools option mentioned above, in light of the fact that there is still not a single image showing yet on Google Image for Userlogos.org
Or maybe you have already tried this ?

Not much use.
I have seen this comment:
If your site has not yet been indexed for images — be patient. It may take up to 6 months for them to appear on Google.

Do you ?
I did not mean to put GIL down, what I meant is that it would be useful to have more specific information from Google Image about indexing.
Who knows maybe if GIL is enabled, indexing happens quicker.

If one searches now under site:userlogos.org in Google Image Search, not only are there no Images shown but more importantly the Userlogos.org Site no longer appears at all !!!

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Wed, 10/22/2008 - 13:55The indexing of Userlogos by Google Image seems to have greatly improved.
There are now 1460 Userlogos Images on Google Image.

Submitted by sjdvda on Wed, 10/22/2008 - 15:05Is there something wrong with my computer or more than 1/2 of the logos on the first page are ones submitted by me. I wish the best logos on this site (such as mafi0z's Google, YouTube and Wikipedia) would appear on the 1st page.
