  • Now you've got me nervous. You say "more focus will be placed on updated content". That will be more of a reason to have product reviews. We have them, but not on all items. We also find that we don't get many review submissions. I hope the new google Algorithm doesn't put any more importance on descriptive URL for images…
  • So, Google is indexing your xml sitemap. If Google is finding it, then you must have a link to it in your HTML sitemap or somewhere on your site. You could put a nofollow tag when linking to it but I don't know if that is a preferred way of doing things ...or you may just ignore that it is being indexed. Is that a NS…
  • Also take a look for example at http://www.refurbups.com/robots.txt for an example of how I also try to remove the duplicate content and the non-descriptive URLs from googles index. Why does your robot file have: #Block Googlebot-Image User-agent: Googlebot-Image Disallow: / Won't that stop Google from indexing your images…
  • The green areas is the number of pages in our site and the blue area represents the number of pages indexed by Google. I get the stats every day and add them to a spreadsheet and draw the graph from there. I am prety obsessed with it. The figures today are: Do you get the data from google webmaster tools? If so, do you get…
  • I know I can take the "no Googlebot-Image" lines out. I guess I wondered why you don't want your images in google image search. What if someone wants a UPS device and they know what it looks like, but not its brand name. Rather than search many sites, they may just do a google image search for "uninterpretable power…
  • Where did you get that graph? NS seems to care very little about the webstore and webstore SEO. They haven't posted in threads about webstore images being invisible to Google and most SEO related "enhancements" have been languishing for many years. T
  • SEO Enhancements to vote for: 159979, 117468. Also please vote for 39165 and 114084. Lastly I need to file an enhancement (or defect preferably) for this issue as well: https://usergroup.netsuite.com/users...ad.php?t=20002 I know of the NetSuite integration with Magento. Does anyone know if Magento does a lot better with…
  • Please vote for Enhancement #171831 The Enhancement says: sitemap> include item page/image URLs in the sitemap generated by the Sitemap Generator
  • The NS SiteMap has no image URLs. Looks like it should. See... http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=178636 NS, can we get this added? It would help get our images indexed into the google image search. T
  • Both "InSpyder Sitemap generator" and "Sitemap Writer pro" will make sitemaps that include image URLs. I've been upgraded to v2010.2 for about 3 weeks now and have had a sitemap with image URLs for about the same time period. So far we still only have about 25 of our 1500+ product images showing up in Google image search.…
  • Jessie, your ChristmasTreeForMe.com web store only has TWO images in Google's image search. Go to Google. Click on images. Click on "advanced search". enter "ChristmasTreeForMe.com" where it says "Return images from the site or domain". you'll end up HERE Chris, who was your question directed to? I've seen one websitre…
  • I went looking for a website crawler that would build a sitemap that included image URLs. I found two, but went with InSpyder Sitemap generator. Sitemap Writer pro was another one that included image URLs in the sitemap. The good thing about v2010.2 is that all of the Sitemap generators seem to work better with the changes…
  • Avgiant, Did you try it? If so, what was the outcome? -Tom
  • We are finally seeing positive results with our Google image search indexing. We were updated to NetSuite v2010.2 on october 8th. For the first 4 weeks, we saw zero change in the measly number of images that were included in Google image search (roughly 25 images). Two weeks after we were upgraded, we added a site-map that…
  • All of our images have a title and an alt tag. We spent a bunch of time manually renaming and moving some images and using the work-around. For some reason they STILL don't show up in Google image search. We moved maybe 3 or 4 hundered images and about 1/3 of them ended up in Google image search! We moved them about a year…
  • I don't know if it was the 2010.2 upgrade or the fact that we also added images to our sitemap, but we went from 1 or 2 images to over 600 images in a relatively short time.
  • Bump: Lily wrote on 3-23-2009... Thank you all very much for your feedback. I will bring all of your feedback back and share with the team. So Lily, it has been over a year now. What was the response from "the team". Thanks, Tom
  • Thanks a bunch. You saved me the time of attempting that work-around. Too bad it didn't help! It would have been a fast fix for this problem. We (W/F) won't do this because it's a pain in the as* and frankly I want NS to fix the error of their ways so ALL customers can benefit from properly indexed images especially those…
  • Did Philip tell you when can we expect Google indexable item images in NetSuite? -Tom
  • 46 posts in this thread and 842 views and not one comment from anyone at NetSuite. NS, could you please advise the users that are investing valuable resources tackling this problem if NS has any plans to address this issue? Thanks
  • Yea, but what if it isn't in the same directory. We may have brass #5 widgets in the following categories... >All Widgets >All Widgets> Green >All Widgets> Large etc. >Sale Items> >Lawn Mower Parts> Performance enhancement> Performance Widgets We use the descriptive URL feature and we have NS add the category to the URL…
  • Does anyone out there have image URLs in their sitemap? See... http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=178636 I went looking for a website crawler that would build a sitemap that included image URLs.

  • Has anyone tried doing this.... Image URLs in NS are... our-domain.com/core/media/media.nl?id=17863&c=000000 change them by adding keywords on the end like this... our-domain.com/core/media/media.nl?id=17863&X=keyword ...where X is a custom variable and the keywords are pulled from the product name or a custom field. Would…
  • Subdomains are OK, but not great for SEO because the images will relate to the Subdomains URL and not your www site. It will get you into Google image search, but the regular Google listings might not do as well as if the images are held on your primary www domain. I learned this when adding a user group to our website. I…
  • Adding images to a sitemap is NOT an option with the NS sitemap generator. I went back to using a 3rd party for sitemaps I've tried about six sitemap generators. I like Inspyder sitemap generator. It is easy to use and doesn't require any special setup and it does include images in the sitemap and it lets you set rules…
  • Looking at a Google image search today, I noticed something new. Google now has "sponsored images" at the top of the image search results. So, they are now capitalizing on the high traffic of shoppers using "Google image search" to find a specific products. Looks like NetSuite's slowness in addressing image search has cost…
  • The NS blog gives ideas about getting your NS webstore "ready for the Holiday". One tip titled "Optimize images" says to compressing them so they load quicker. http://netsuite.typepad.com/blog/2009/12/are-you-and-your-web-store-ready-for-the-holiday-shopping-rush.html Why not a tip on how to get the product images where…
