    Keywords/Attributes not in HTML = no Google results?

    Zenfolio image: 
    You will see there are Alt Attributes, keywords, and categories. If you go to the photo in the above link and view the page source, none of those keywords/attributes are in the HTML!?
    Flickr image:
    You will see down on the right side the list of tags I've entered; the same as Zenfolio. If you view the page source, those tags are in the HTML in 3 different sections!
    My Flickr gets many hits from Google searches with no extra setup other than adding tags. I've set up Bing and Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools and I can search for all of the tags in Google Image Search and it won't find any of the images, even if I add "zenfolio" to the search term.

    Re: Keywords/Attributes not in HTML = no Google results?

    OK, I read that thread and fetched the page with the photo on it and there I do see the tags, but If that's what Google is supposedly indexing, why can't I find it in Image Search? 

    If you google "abandoned, black and white, chair, home, house, kentucky, ky, old, pine knob, porch", web results show my page as #1... great, but if you look at images, it's nowhere to be found. 

    I hope there's a fix for this... I was hoping to replace Flickr and have ZF be my only site...
