I am so angry at Google right now. They show images from my health-boundaries.com site in their search results for Fingernails and B12, but they link to Pinterest. I’m going to write to Google’s legal department. It is so irritating.
I get 56 visitors from Google search, when they are using my image in their results, but not my website.
Is this why my Jetpack stats show twice as many visits as Google Adsense? The problem started a couple weeks ago, and my earnings fell, significantly. I’m unclear why my AMP ads no longer produce revenue… or, at least why half or more don’t…
The interesting thing is, with both the 300 and the 1200 pixel images at the top of my amp pages, the 300 image is much clearer on my mobile phone screen.
LOL… Bother, so now my AMP pages have two images on the top…

I don’t think so, Jay. I think it’s here to stay. It certainly is slow going changing the size and shape of my images, though…
I’m so sorry to hear that. That happened to me some time ago, and it was, at least for me, major depressing.
that’s great. 🙂 I’m happy for you 🙂
as far as I can tell, you need to change only the two images.
oops… that got published before I was ready.
Anyway, Chusbas replied to me on my thread about how to increase the AMP featured image without increasing the featured image on a desktop page…
Hi Jay, When I began changing my images I discovered that the embedded words were not showing when the image was displayed on Twitter or Facebook. Chusbas very kindly directed me to Google materials that discuss the width to height ratios… When I didn’t totally understand he posted the 675 height requirement for me, with supporting Google materials.
As soon as I implemented that my images displayed properly, and began to show up in Google Search.
What makes it all so tricky to increase the width of featured images is that the old requirements were for 300 x 300, a square. Now it’s 1200 x 675, which is clearly not a square… so making a featured image comply is a little more tricky than simply making it larger…

Hi DOMDOMDOMDOM,
My wordpress pages have a box on the right hand side for Featured Image. And, I use Schema Org’s Rich Snippets. So I have to put the 1200 x 675 image into each of those boxes to have it appear in Google Search results.
The rest of the images on a page aren’t required to be 1200 x 675 for Google Search.

Hi Havig,
I don’t think 1200 high will work. That’s the width dimension. The height dimension that goes with it is 675. Any bit of an image that’s over 675 tall, is cut off in Google Search.I’ve been testing my pages…
that is so clever, and so nice of you to suggest. Thank you!!!
It was harder getting a handle on this than I anticipated. I didn’t realize the height had to be 675… not larger. All my images were squares, so changing them to 1200 wide didn’t work “perfectly” LOL
It took hours today to come to grips with the different aspects… but now that I’ve got it, I think I can do “pretty many” pages tomorrow and Tuesday. 🙂
Thank you so much for all your help with this … situation. 🙂
You’ve done a superb job of explaining to me, and I am now able to make my images work. Only… I’ll do it tomorrow and the next day, as I’ve totally worn myself out today.
thank you So SO MUCH !!!
