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.

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…

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…

Stacy, you have a great price on CAT5e cable. -Tom PS: NetSuite, when can we expect Google indexable item images?

I noticed something else today (regarding Google image search). We moved about 200 images into a folder in the hosted files area (as per the work-around described elsewhere in this thread). We did that about 4 or 5 months ago and 25% of those images recently showed up in the Google image search. It took them about 4 months…

Oh, so the Descriptive Image URL capability will be different than the one provided for web store items. The one for web store items would change ".html" to "-html". Either way, it sounds like we'll be getting all of our item images listed in Google with the first fix (the jsessionids). The first fix will get them in there…

I'm very happy about this. Before I get too happy, could someone else who's familiar with "Google image search" let me know if those two enhancements will fix the issue or is there more that needs to be done? Like, do we also need images with .jpg or .gif extensions? NS descriptive URLs feature won't allow us to use a "."…

Everything is working fine now. The silly thing is when NS was resizing the images they didn't reduce the file size. The file size will be the same. NetSuite doesn't have a "true" thumbnail generator like other webstores. If you set a 100px thumbnail size preference in NS, they just use a tag that constrains your larger…

I encountered a new set of problems with the "work-around" to get descriptive URLs (as described earlier in this thread). We exported our froogle feed today (which shouldn't be necessary if NS looked at the froogle API) and noticed that the URLs for the images were like this.....…

Thanks for acknowledging our concerns. Let "the team" know that it might get us what we need a lot quicker of they just integrated with a 3rd webstore cart/platform. Let them know that everyone selling online through the NS web store platform is missing free traffic and most likely free revenue every day because of missing…
