any idea to optimize SEO for Google Images ?

    i've got some old web sites with tons of photos.

    from the stats 80% of the referrals come from Google Images.
    and perform well in some keywords.

    actually they have filenames like "DSC5637843.jgp"

    under every image there is a one line caption, not always pertinent to the subject.

    yet, they're all indexed by G images and performing more than OK, despite there are NO alt-tags, no meaningful filenames, and not even pertinent captions.

    besides, i don't know if it's worth, but how could i write 1000s of alt-tags one by one ? is there a way to automate it ?

    Use meta tags with your keyword -

    Ex: - suppose ur keyword is Weightloss ALT would be "Weight_Loss_DSC1"

    tell me what happens.

    put your keyword in the alt attribute.

    name the image with the keyword of your choice.

    support such image with keyword-rich contents & well-optimized onpage and offpage web page/s.

    thanks.

    i'm already batch-renaming the images but how can i add alt-tags to 900 images if every image relates to different keywords ? that's the problem !

    i now use different CMSes so that's almost automated but those old sites
    were static and editing manually 900 alt-tags is absolutely unworthy.

    do you know any tools for that ?
