Thumbnails attached by Google Images

Post by joaojhb »

Hi Everyone!

I would like to know how can I disable to all my thumbnails in Phoca Gallery to not be attached by Google Images.

I also need a easy way, because I have a lot of categories and thousand of photos.

Any help will be very appreciated!

Best Regards!

Hi, great to hear it that the images are displayed in Google images (some users ask why the images from Phoca Gallery do not display in Google images)

But seriously, it does in fact not depends on Phoca Gallery if the images will be displayed or not in Google images, so to not display them in Google images, there can be more ways:

- to have not public site
- to protect folders on your server by htaccess or easy way is to add robots.txt where you will describe which folders can be seen by robots and which not
- to change links to your images e.g. by adding rel="nofollow" attribute to a tag, etc. etc.

But I think, this is maybe more a question on Google developers :idea:
