| Re: high ranking image completely disappears from image SERP for one keyword, what could cause this? | loupiote | 12/4/12 12:39 AM | exactly my point. this image still pops in the image SERP for other search terms. just "navel" will bring it. but for several years, it was (rightfully, in my opinion) appearing in the image SERP for "pregnant", usually on the first or second page. |
| Re: high ranking image completely disappears from image SERP for one keyword, what could cause this? | loupiote | 12/4/12 12:43 AM | and of course, long tail search like the one Free2Write mentioned ("pregnant woman with pregnancy belly ring") have extremely little traffic, compared to search on simple keywords. so this image, which i think is much more relevant to "pregnant" than |
| Re: high ranking image completely disappears from image SERP for one keyword, what could cause this? | Free2Write | 12/4/12 1:32 AM | That image has not "completely disappeared from the SERP for "pregnant". The image, for that search term, is on about page 785. You need to scroll down through Google's auto complete for awhile to get there. There's no guarantee that any image will r |
| Re: high ranking image completely disappears from image SERP for one keyword, what could cause this? | Barry Schwartz | 12/4/12 3:15 AM | There were reports of an image search algo update the other day. They probably updated their index / algo. |
| Re: high ranking image completely disappears from image SERP for one keyword, what could cause this? | loupiote | 12/4/12 1:30 PM | i didn't see the report, but i saw that image search returns lots of images that are less relevant to the search (in addition to the issue i pointed in this thread). so hopefully google will correct their new algorithm soon. |
| Re: high ranking image completely disappears from image SERP for one keyword, what could cause this? | loupiote | 12/4/12 1:33 PM | the only report i saw was: http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2012/11/spiffing-up-your-search-results-page.html and this mentions only an update in the layout of image search results, not a change in the algorithm. |

| Re: high ranking image completely disappears from image SERP for one keyword, what could cause this? | Free2Write | 12/4/12 4:44 PM | There was no attempt to elicit a feeling. An image that is completely removed from index and an image that has moved in rank are different, was the only clarification being made. The image seems to be in the index but also seems to have moved in rank |
