      I've heard that a blog's has a deep relation with content keywords available in WMT, my WMT is showing top content keyword "PNG"  and it's because of images available in my posts. also the images sizes like 150x150 is also in my content keyword.

      Should I noindex my images? or is there any other solution to handle this issue?

        Hard to say. What is the business problem you're trying to solve?

          Your uploads directory is viewable. I would configure the hosting to disallow browsing directories.

          Because WordPress creates a directory for each month you have two dozen pages being indexed by Google that show nothing but filenames ending with the .png extension. This is most likely where the keyword in Webmaster tools is coming from.

              Thanks Alex, you've understood my problem, what if I just noindex that directory in my robots.txt file? is it gonna work or not?

                  That looks to be a good solution. Behind the scenes the plugin will be adding "Options -Indexes" to your .htaccess file, which you could do directly and skip the need for a plugin if you so wish.

                  I am glad I was able to help you.
