    All but 2 of my approximately 17 images have vanished from Google images after googlebots returned 404 errors. (They all had correct URLs and all were in the correct files). After doing a test, a responder on the google forum, said the problem was wider than googlebots:

    Yes, well it’s not just google that is getting 404 Not Found for those jpg images.

    I requested http://savvysavingbytes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/fileboxgoodwill-b.jpg

    (a) via a browser and your server served that image correctly.

    (b) via a standard diagnostic tool for studying server responses and your server repsonds with a 404 Not Found.

    He concluded the problem was on my server or the way my site is set-up or the way it responds to requests. Site is:
    savvysavingbytes.com

    He also wondered if it would be better If I put my images in an image folder, rather than a WordPress folder.

    I’d be really thankful for any clue about what I can do next.

    For the benefit of those in a similar situation, the problem has been identified and resolved. The hotlink protection in my host’s C panel has now been turned off, so now those situations will be dealt with manually.
