FeedMender/Errors/Too many additional images
Common rejections
Too many additional image links
Google accepts up to ten additional images beyond the main one. Past that, the surplus is not shown, it is a warning that the feed is sending more than the listing can use.
What Google requires
At most ten additional images
additional_image_link holds the extra images beyond the main image_link, capped at ten, each a valid, ASCII-encoded URL. Beyond the cap, the excess links are ignored. Google reports the overflow as Too many additional image links.
What Google does
The extra images are dropped, not chosen
Past ten, Google drops the surplus rather than letting you decide which images matter, so a gallery assembled in a particular order may lose exactly the shots you wanted shown. It does not disapprove the product, which is why an over-stuffed image set tends to go unnoticed.
How to fix it by hand
Curate down to ten
- Keep the ten most useful additional images and drop the rest yourself.
- Put the single best shot in
image_linkso the cap does not cost you the main image. - Encode every image URL and keep it on a valid scheme.
