Images being ranked
-
I have a client who is concerned about the performance of his images ranking on Google Images. I have taken a look at the obvious things like - alt tags, title tags , file names.
I am not sure why he is struggling quite so much to get his images ranked well as the sites he is competing against and who are already ranking are a very poor quality.
This is his site - http://www.ukweddingfavours.co.uk
Would really appreciate your feedback and I can dish out some good answers.

They support them all as all major search engines have agreed on http://schema.org/
They may not display them all at this moment, but i would mark up the best fit using http://schema.org/ for the future.
Remeber Bing and Yahoo also use them.

The required properties to be listed are found here:
http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=21997My website has many profiles of aged care facilities with photos and so I'm looking for a way to display these photos on Google.
Trouble is I can't seem to find the right rich snippet type that Google supports.
The organizations snippet looks fitting however it doesn't include an image within it's property types.

They don’t always display them, I think that some industries have more of a chance of getting displayed then others, but as time goes on I believe more and more will be used. But it is not just being displayed that is the advantage. Imagine someone searching for a phone, you may have a page with the word phone on it, you may have a image of the phone, a description of the phone and its features. The search engine does not understand what all these things are, it does not understand that altogether they are a product. But if you mark them up using rich snippets it can see them as a product with a image, description and the rest. When some one searches for a phone what would the search engine rather display to them.

Interesting stuff. Just a few questions:
How many itemprops are needed in order to be listed by Google? I counted 10 one one of the pages.
In your experience how long would it take before Google picks up on the changes and displays them?
-
If you want to see an example on how to mark it up, see bottom of page http://schema.org/ImageObject
if you want to see it in action, see results with images and ratings
-
Ok great do you know of any examples sites using this method already ?
-
i must say they are nice images.
I would mark them up as rich snippits.
eaither as a image object
or a image belonging to a product object
Its a fair bit of work, but worth it, you can test them with google rich snippits tool

Sale page ranking for "[blank] for sale" keywords
My company's Ecommerce site has a sale category that is currently out performing some of our normal categories in the SERPs for "[blank] for sale" keywords. For example the sale category landing page is ranking for the keyword "vegetable seeds for sale" rather than the vegetable seed category. Has anyone ever dealt with a similar situation to this? or does anyone have general advice for optimizing (or weakening) sale pages?

Can lazy loading of images affect indexing?
I am trying to diagnose a massive drop in Google rankings for my website and noticed that the date of the ranking and traffic drop coincides with Google suddenly only indexing about 10% of my images, whereas previously it was indexing about 95% of them. Wondering if addition of lazy load script to images (so they don't load from the server until visible in the browser) could cause this index blocking?

Image URL's have knocked my sub-pages down (WP)
I had most of my keywords within the top 10 for this site, some were even ranking in the top 5. For a possible minor boost, more-so to cover all the bases, I decided to add images to all of the pages, and they were uploaded as a gallery with most of the image file names being the same as the keyword. Thus, url's were created with our targeted phrases, extending off of the corresponding sub-page. After that, Google quickly picked up the url's to the images and began indexing them, when that occurred the sub-page which was to be the landing page, quickly tanked. Nothing else on-site changed besides the uploading of the images, so I'm sure they're conflicting and for whatever reason Google can't decide which page to index. The page that contains the images used, or the actual intended landing page. With WP I didn't see a way to not have them link to anything at all, and just be static when using a gallery, stock at least. So, my question is how can I quickly alleviate this problem and what should I do in the future to avoid this? I believe if I change link thumbnails to image file instead of attachment page, that should fix the issue... Then, I'll have dead URL's which I suppose I should 301 to the sub-page. Alternatively, is there a better solution that will work, I was also thinking about no-indexing the attachment URL's, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

Impact of mobile pages on current rankings
Morning all - I've been getting a bit of traffic recently for mobile phrases, so am thinking of putting a mobile optimised page on my site which users will be automatically directed to when they visit my site. My question is though, how will this affect the rankings of those current pages which are trying to target mobile users. For example, let's say I've got a page at www.betting.com/iphone which is ranking really well for those users looking to place a few bets on their iPhone. Once I stick my mobile optimised page up anyone clicking through to this URL will be re-directed to a generic mobile landing page at a different URL. Is this likely to effect my rankings of the original www.betting.com/iphone page at all given the fact that all visitors are being immediately re-directed elsewhere? Thanks very much for your help

Preferred Image Replacement Techniques
What is the preferred image replacement technique currently for CSS? I have been using the one that someone here at SeoMoz recommended a year or two ago, which was: Text to be hidden { #id { overflow:hidden; width:200px; //width of the image background-image: url(...); } #id span { display:block; width:1000px; height:1000px; }
