Hi,Our new site, www.brewbitz.com, launched recently, but Google are moaning at ut about images on the site.
It appears the Googlebot can't crawl them, in fact they've asked us to change the 'robots.txt' file in the following way...

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow:

User-agent: Googlebot-image
Disallow:

I've done this, but I don't think it'll make any difference, is this due to the way images are displayed on the front end,
Has anyone else come up with this problem?

Images are served via Image.aspx, which is a handler script that reads the stored large image, resizes it to the required size and serves it to the browser.

To stop them being indexed, i think it would be better to have

Disallow: /Image.aspx
For most sites, image spidering just sucks up bandwidth, and in most cases leads to little useful traffic.
