Indexing Images
Last week I did an image search for my name, and my picture didn't come up on the first page. No biggie, although my sites have pretty good page ranking so I was a little surprised.
But it wasn't on page 2 either, or.. hang on. wtf?
I checked on www.dozingdogs.com and this site and yes, my images had an alt tag with my name in it.
Of course, this isn't a big deal. But it bugged me a little.
Anyway, this morning I woke up and I had the answer (funny how the subconscious works, isn't it?). I checked my robots.txt and sure enough I found this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /i/
I removed these lines and you'll all be pleased to know that shortly my mug will be all over image searches for James Shaw.
Now I just need to dream the answer why I put it in there in the first place? Any ideas?
