    As far as I know seo for images would involve, adding alt tag to the image so that search engines know what the image is about, reducing the load time for the images on the site & giving good file names to the images.

    1. Find the right images
    2. Use the keyword(s) in the file name
    3. Create descriptive alt text
    4. The right anchor text
    5. Make sure the image matches the content

    To optimize image for SEO, it is required to give alt tag with every image. like <img src="" alt="keyword">

    ALT attribute is important part of search engine optimization. It describes your image to search engine and when a user searches for a certain image this is a key determining factor for a match.

    TITLE attribute play lesser role but is important for visitors as this text will automatically appear in the tooltip when mouse is over the image.

    In addition to image search results, giving proper ALT tags will also improve relevancy of the image to the content on the page. SE will know that the image and content are related, the page is completely based on the topic of the keyword and it will help to increase the keyword density on the page thereby helping with general serp ranking of your site.

    Content below the image or around the image is useful to evaluate image relevancy. Suppose we are talking about Japan nuclear crisis, the image below the content is more likely to related to the topic.
