    The website I'm focusing on is www.NarutoWallpaper.biz, it is almost 2 months old and all pages are being indexed fine and I'm ranking well for lots of keywords but my problem is that none of my images are being indexed for Google image search.

    Since my website revolves around wallpaper sized images and I'm focusing a lot on SEO for traffic I think I could pull in some decent traffic if only I could get the images indexed too. Any tips for getting them indexed? Should I add the images to my sitemap or is that bad to do?

    Opt to "Enable enhanced image search " in google's webmaster tools, use some keywords in your alt tag, and some in the text around the image

    I've done all of that already except for the waiting. :( Thanks anyway. I've waited nearly 2 months but I guess the image search spider is slower than the page spider.
