Why is my web site so popular with Google Images?
There's something very wrong with the web when people get to mine and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}

These are virtually all image searches.
Number 1 results from a single use of the word on this page captioning this photo (perfectly safe for work). The photo apparently appears on the 3rd first page of Google Images results for the word and the page is the single most popular page on the site. I may just change the text before the site gets put in block lists as porn. I have added a robots.txt that should block indexing of the photo.
Number 3 results in shit like this:
- goth pictures thread (scroll down a bit)
- social networking site (scroll down to comment from "kristin")
I have added the relevant photo to robots.txt.
Number 5 is for this page of photos and seems to have led to a lot of people using the picture of Alastair (who is not included in the "strange people") as a user pic in web forums - without copying it and without asking permission.
Number 8 will probably result in the so-captioned person killing me if he finds out.
