Hi everyone, I have a blog in which the posts contain a lot of images. I have noticed via my analytics and testing, that often an image inserted into the post can rank higher than the actual post itself. Occasionally when this happens it makes the post not rank as Google must think the image page is the main page. I made a post containing 10 images and a brief description at the top. The page was #3 on Google for a week then suddenly dropped off Google. However the individual image pages were still indexed and receiving traffic. The only way I found to resolve the issue was to create 2 or 3 backlinks to the main post page and then silo a link to it from another internal page.
Wordpress Uploaded Images Can Destroy SERPs

Hi everyone, I have a blog in which the posts contain a lot of images. I have noticed via my analytics and testing, that often an image inserted into the post can rank higher than the actual post itself. Occasionally when this happens it makes the post not rank as Google must think the image page is the main page.
I made a post containing 10 images and a brief description at the top. The page was #3 on Google for a week then suddenly dropped off Google. However the individual image pages were still indexed and receiving traffic. The only way I found to resolve the issue was to create 2 or 3 backlinks to the main post page and then silo a link to it from another internal page.
I am really baffled to why this is happening. Has anyone else had problems with this? Is there a way to make posts take priority in the SERPS over my images without the bother of link silo and backlinking? Is there even a benefit to wordpress creating these individual pages for images? IMO I can't see having a page with only the image can be a benefit.
