What gives? Why is the URL changing for some images ? It doesn't happen with all my images just some. Why? This totally screws up links posted on other web sites.
URLs are based on your name and the image title. If you change either of those when you edit the image the URL will change. If you didn't change either one, then you may have found a glitch in the system.
yeah, i can only assume you have 2 with the same file name, and this is how the system now handles that. the link will break, but google will fix it at some point.
google bots come by now and then and re indexes your site. they follow the keywords you have and simply scours the site for info. correcting and updating things as it goes along.
however it can't fix the broken links on things like pinterest, twitter etc.
Yeah that is what I thought. Very few if any images from here show up on Google anymore so I was more concerned with the broken links from the other web sites.
