Hi guys, I need your knowledge. For some reason, a few of my media in wordpress site are showing up in search results? These are images that are attached to a page, but some of them show on there own URL - like www.xxxxxx. co.uk/?attachment_id=4505

Any ideas?

    How to create a strategic PPC plan

    Sb4f,

    This is normal. Images are found at a location just as a web page is. For example an “about us” page may be found at www[dot]example[dot]com/about-us.html and an image on that page would be found at www[dot]example[dot]come/about-us/image.html. This is true for any image on any website.

    Google and other search engines also index images in this manner (by indexing the image path).

    Right click on any image on your WP site, click on view image info and you will see its URL. Paste it into Google Images and you will likely find it indexed,

    Google Images

    Hope that answers your question,

    Shawn

    One more thing. If you do not want your images appearing in search, you can exclude them in your robots.txt file. This would only apply to future images.

    Hi, these aren't coming up in the image results, they are coming up as actual pages in the normal search results?
