How does google find images?
I recently rewrote the website for the Jumpteam. It used to be a coldfusion website, the layout was done using a lot of tables, and the html didn’t validate. I’ve redone the site in php, i’m using css instead of tables, and the html pages mostly validate. I think that as a result of this the site gets better results in google.
But today i discovered something strange. If you do an image search on google, you only find images on the old site. Google doesn’t find any images on the new site. Results for all images and results for images on the new site.
Any idea why the images on the new site aren’t found by google? The html seems to be OK.

Its none of your fault, the problem is that google just hasn’t updated thier image searchs in a while. There were conspiracy theories about ”>google censoring image searches a few months ago.
