Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Finally I understand your point, but... Have you measured it? You have some cases where you moved the images to a third-level domain and after re-index you observed a ranking drop? Because I did it once, for an e-commerce, and I didn't observe that. It's just one case, and doesn't mean much, but just searching on google for this topic I can find many who claim to have witnessed an increase in images ranking thanks to the adoption of a cdn. Domain of an image url is for sure a ranking factor, and you probably are right. But I would like others to jump into the discussion and help to clarify. Because I think google images algo is more keen on evaluating other (well known) factors. And it's logic. If you have some html on site.com with one image coming from flickr.com and one coming from worthlessdomain.com, which one would you favour in images SERP? Flickr? Why? Doesn't say anything about the relevancy of that image for that keyword. Of course if you have an html page about flowers on site.com, and you have one image coming from worthlessdomain.com and one image from asitefullofflowersimages.com it may have some relevancy, but is it for the domain authority/trust? Or because all the images of asitefullofflowersimages.com are of flowers, with flowers alt text and so on? I bet the second. Plus, google guidelines suggest to serve images from a cookieless domain to improve performance, of course they mean to improve performance to improve ranking of the page, and in that context they are probably disregarding SEO for images. I don't have the minimum idea if domain authority/trust is such a strong ranking factor for images, and I have the impression you have more experience than me on this subject, but I am still very skeptical.

Thanks Patrick for the reply,   Let me like to tell that each of both pages of our website rank once in listing for our main key search term. It happens to see  sometime 1st page rank(that is homepage) and sometime 2nd page rank(sub-page of website). But both pages don't rank together in the SERPs. Ranking both pages alternatively is not anything serious thing causing or splitting our main objective page to rank higher?? We are trying to figure out, what BEST SOLUTION we can have to implement in order to bring our any of web-page first-5 rank .. ?? Warm Regards, Aman

Hi Dennis I have a question for you, we are a chain of clinics, so we should use physician or Local Business Schem for Medical Clinic. Regards Aman

Hi there At the moment, I don't think this is possible. You could, however, look into image markup and use "description" or "name" attributes to say this is a (surgery or procedure) before photo or an after photo. I have never used this tactic before, but it's something to consider. I would also take a look into health/medical types as there may be items there that can assist. Hope this helps! Good luck!

As Ryan and Monica say.... "combine these results into a single long page". That long page will be much more substantive content for the search engines - so it will probably rank a lot better than any of the single skimpy pages.  Also that page makes it much easier for visitors to compare.  And, it reduces duplicate content issues.

Hi Jordan,   Yes you are right, "Ahrefs and Majestic focus more exclusively on furnishing a complete backlink profile" , but it doesn't seem to be right with the context you said that "our focus is specifically to provide data about your highly-authoritative backlinks"    As I can see many many direct relevant & high athoritative domains they have linked with, it is not right you to say that we only follow to show highly-authoritative backlinks only, which is wrong in this case. What I can agree upon you as said "your campaign for that site has only been active for one index update" because as this domain is relatively new to the industry and there would be many chances this might have not fallen under your update during process.

Thanks for reply Matt. Agreed these are some links which surely could be out of frustration. Can get them removed. But I have a question, check out our competitors who rank in India. You will be amazed to see their link building. Even one has a sub domain pligg sub domain for all kind of bad links even sex related etc. However, how can you help us to achieve our goal. You can send a PM too... I will be very glad.

Hi Robert There is no duplicate content in these websites.....checked thoroughly by copyscape. Regards Aman

I know dear Hutch42, Google said this last Aug 2014. This is just something I want to confirm. Thanks for reply.

Hi Aman! This won't necessarily solve your problem, and I sort of hate just plugging a Moz tool, but have you ever tried running a Full SERP Analysis Report in the Keyword Difficulty tool? It can let you know what factors are helping your top 10 SERP competitors rank. There's a great video on using it here.
