    I'll help to post here:

    http://awebmastersblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-optimize-your-sites-pictures-for.html

    1. Always save the pictures with a relevant title. I.e 'Motorbike.png' not 'asjbk213.png'

    2. Always use an alt tag for your images. I.e "alt='Motorbike'

    3. Place images in and around relevant text. Don't place pictures of a motorbike on a celebrity blog.

    4. Use anchor text like you would for a link to link to your picture.

    5. Make sure your robot.txt file isn't blocking access to the photos, if your using a few host such as blogger then you don't need to worry about this.

    6. Enable the 'Enhanced image search' option on google webmasters tools. To do this go on google webmasters tools click on 'Settings' tab the box Include my site in Google Image Labeler and select 'Save'

    Images are also good source of promotion and generate good traffic for the site if optimized in a proper way. Nice points.

    good tips.....some of my sites get the majority of their SE traffic from google images, so optimizing them definitely pays off.:cool:

    I am using SEO Image Plugin for Wordpress It's worked. Before use the plugin my images files didn't appear in the google image, after use the plugin my images appear and send traffic to my web.
