Try using the websiteaddress/path/image.extension format. It sounds like your having issues with the file structure of your site. Depending on your backend, OS, etc, filepaths will vary. IE: /public_html/images or /images or /var/public_html/images. Skip any technical stuff and instead of doing...

I'm trying to build a website but i have some questions if you are kind enough to help me. 1) Is there any way i can tell if a photo i find on G is protected by copyright or not? In general, no, not without spending alot of time on each image. However, as long as your responsive to DMCA...

Straight Google+'s will not help to much. What I would do is get my hands on a decent-quality G+ account, and setup google author tags. Mix in the G+'s in addition to that. That will certainly gain you some traction.

Mt gox is hit now to? Was there not another exchange hit recently as well? Somebody really needs to figure out how to offer a faster exchange, and obviously something more secure. Certainly alot of money in it for whoever figures out to streamline the exchange process, and maybe take a few...

Setup a new site, leave the old site up, and slap a rel-canonical tag into the old sites meta description. Any positive juice will still, slowly, flow. No penalty will pass. A 301 may improve ranking on your new site briefly, but evilclown is correct - a penalty will quickly follow.

Depends what you are trying to do, you have not really given enough information here. Here's your options, and me guessing at your situation. A. Do a 301 redirect (You can do this from your registrar, or an .htaccess file, this is the simplest way to 301 the entire domain to a new location.)...

Keep the dream alive brother. The only thing predictable about Google is its general unpredictability.
