my search results have disappeared!

Hi everybody! I'm new to this forum and have a guestion:

I have various image galleries on my server, Welcome to LaLaVoxBox.com (this page has been around since 2001).

In the past all of the images from my Doodle gallery appeared in the Google Image search results when I typed in "lalavox" or "lalavoxbox".

Recently I noticed that this is no longer the case. Even when I type in a specific Doodle name in the Google text search; no results - as if the site no longer exists.

Here are two examples:

example #1 - image search:
"P2.m.JPG" lalavox - Google Bilder

example #2 - text search:
"weihnachten in hochdorf 1979" - Google-Suche

And the example #2 text search with Alta Vista:
AltaVista Search: "weihnachten in hochdorf 1979"



I wonder why my images have disappeared from the search results, and I also wonder if there's a way to make them reappear.

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for helping!


p.s. I'm an illustrator - and these are my private websites:

By the way. I'm a bit confused about something I'm seeing here now. Maybe I'm not aware of how this forum works yet, but why can I suddenly no longer see the original post that began this thread? Where is it? Did I somehow delete it by mistake? *huh?*

Hi LaLaVox,
It means naming a picture with your targeted/selected keyword and key phrases!

In other words, if it's a fashion illustration, the words "fashion" and "illustration" should be in the file title, for instance?

Oops! No time for that at the moment. I'll try it later, when I'm back home again. Thanks!

Its inserting keywords or key phrases on the alt attribute of the image tag...
Its one good source of traffic from image searches....

Ah, okay. I think I finally get it now. Good tip! Thanks!

...As I guess you can tell, my HTML knowledge is extremely basic - just enough to get me by for building my websites.

It would still interest me to know why images from my site that used to appear in the Google image search no longer do so (as my mysteriously-disappeared 1st post had explained). I guess Google's search techniques must have changed quite bit fairly recently.
