Google Images Question

Hey People,

I always add a index.php to every gallery that I have with Add and overwrite "index" files for all local sites.

My question is and it may seem a silly one at that.

Would this index file stop google images from getting at the images. It is reported that google image bot has seen 56736 images but not one shows up in google. I realise that this can take forever for them to show up regardless in google.

I have had a look on google images too at other phpwebgallery sites with search term phpwebgallery and what I have noticed is that these websites never seem to have a index.php in their gallery/galleries, atleast the ones I have looked at don't seem to and I can see all the images located in galleries/cars/toyota/ for example.

Is there anyway that this index.php could be interfering with the final step when google grabs the image because of the redirect?

It should not. Google should browse your gallery from the PHP files, not from the directory indexes.

Re: Google Images Question

I did another search and it does indeed index via picture.php and via category too

I guess, I just have to be patient. I just needed to be sure.

Thanks, That has put my mind at rest.
