    properly optimizing images involves using the "Alt" attribute when adding images to your site. Basically Google Crawlers cannot read images, so you add the "Alt" attribute to tell these crawlers what it is.

    When we use any image on our post or web-page then alt attribute is used, Because google not read the image so we use the alt tag to tell the search engine that actually what it is? :)

    The Search Engines cannot crawl images or videos or flash objects. To get them recognized as well there is a tag <alt> standing for alternate text for the image. In this tag you can use the keywords that would other wise be missed out in the image only.

    It's helping bots to crawl and index image easily.. since there is not text to crawl in an image, which SEs required to get searched. Image optimization really help by adding alt attributes with text on an image. Using image as a link can also help.

    Image optimization is the process of compressing and optimizing that images so as to make them easily readable by the search engines. A few tips to that:
    - Add Alt tag with your images
    - Optimizing the size of images
    - Add an image sitemap to your website
    - Use thumbnails
    - Do away with any extra white space
    - Make sure you use GIF for animations, JPEG for multi-coloured photos and PNG for icons and backgrounds
