    Google can't index the images but the alt tag placed on the images help Google to identify or know about the image.

    -Use alt tag

    -Name of the picture is important also

    for example

    dog.jpg is much better than picture01.jpg :)
    a-man-with-a-gun.jpg is better than man.jpg

    Well G bots are blind so it can't see your image, it only reads the text and this is the reason why alt tag is used to define the image. So use alt tags for every image of your site.

    There's also the Google Image Labeler (http:// images.google.com/imagelabeler/).

    You and an opponent have to describe the image. When you both select the same keyword, you get points and move on to the next one. It lasts a minute or two and is a great time wasting game.
