I've migrated a website from PHP to ASP.NET but google/bing refuses to index any images on the new site. When I swapped back to Linux, it indexed pages immediately. I think its more an IIS problem rather than .NET, anyone any experience of what is going
on?
The reason I say its a webserver problem is because when I swapped from .NET to PHP on the same server, images didn't get indexed. They're only being indexed on the Linux system. Would prefer to use IIS than Apache because .NET is way better to develop
with.
It seems the same is happening on BING as well.
The server has Plesk with hotlinking enabled but Google is reading the pictures according to the Log files. Googlebot-Image web-bot is reading the pictures with a code of 200.

Any ideas?

it may take time to index the images it doesn't happen quickly as it depends on the google when then spider request and does the indexing
but how to make sure that its not indexing because the request and response would be same and google doesn't care which server its hosted on
