 * Google can be very slow (months) to index images, especially for new sites. Just
   make sure that your images have alt text and Google will eventually index them.

 * Hi,
 * Add this code in header file above </header> tag:
 * <meta name=”robots” content=”imageindex”>
 * Also, make sure that you have allowed image directory for the crawling in robots.

 * Thanks,

 * Shane G,
 * Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the robots tag is meant for exclusions? The
   default behavior of the spiders is to index the images therefore the only reason
   to use this tag would be <meta name=”robots” content=”noimageindex”> in order
   to stop them.
