    Hello all,
    I was wondering what I can do to increase the chance of my images being indexed in google. I have tagged most of them, and have named them appropriately, however, still they are not showing in google images.
    Any ideas why not? Thanks in advance!

    I guess you wrote custom alt tags for them. Only you can do is to get strong backlinks I think that would speed up the image indexing process.

    Are you using Google webmaster tool? If yes then login into it and there you will find an option of image indexing for your site. Check that box and it will help to get the images from your site index in Google image search

    Google images is updated very infrequently unfortunately.

    To maximise your chances you may find my recent post Image Search helpful, particularly the advice to opt-in to Enhanced Image Search in Webmaster Tools.

    I guess I'll have to google "webmaster tools" to find out what it is :D, then download or whatever, and then get the images on my site indexed.

    But seriously thanks or this.

    No Holly, you took it wrong.:D
    go here

    Its a free service which google provides. Add your site/blog here and then look for the 'Image indexing' option.
    Also don't forget to add a sitemap. If you need any further help, you can PM me.
