    As long as image's name is the keyword, it can help.

    ok, what is about Russian and Ukrainian Google search engines, where requests are made in the Russian language? Do I need to write image file names in Russian? The point is that I was advised to write image file names only in English.

    agree with you and i made also the same test.
    an image have 2 useage , ALT for at use it for keywords and other words that you have not it in your site content
    but makes help for seo.
    - image name is only the same of text search and make more traffic.

    Images cannot, but the alts and titles for the images certainly improve rankings... So, go ahead and work on these :)

    write the image title for what you want to get hits for on google image search and image alt for what keywords you want to optimize for in SERP.

    I never realized the file name mattered. I was just worried about the alt.

    Could you please advise on how keywords should be put in alt tags. I mean it is better to put them together or use a dash? What are your opinions about this?
