Stop search engines from indexing the larger image file pop ups.

Hi Folks,

Google is listing my images on the from page for primary search terms but not my site page. Any suggestions?

I viewed the who's online and found MSNBOT indexing a pop up image. I do not use any pop ups on my site so what I am thinking is that this is related to the Larger Image link under the image on the product page.

Do you think that this could have something to do with it?

Any useful SEO tips for ZenCart? Thanks much!

A default install of Zen Cart already sets the noindex,nofollow on the popup image pages.

Yes. Can you rephrase that so that us mere mortals can understand what you are saying.

What the heck is a 'primary search term'
Did you mean to type 'front page' rather than 'from page'?
What do you mean by 'site page'? Aren't all of your pages on your site a 'site page' ?

What I'm thinking is that if you do have "the Larger Image link under the image on the product page" then you are using popups on the site even though you say you aren't.

I don't even know what "it" is.

Yes. Forget everything you've ever seen or read about SEO.
ZenCart is search engine friendly out of the box. For good rankings all you need is good content (and lots of it).
