    just two things to get you started

    make sure your images contain your keywords and are in a useful keyword directory

    example

    /web-design/web-design-and-development.gif
    /web-design/web-design-development.gif
    /web-design/web-design.gif
    /web-design/web development.gif

    Also make sure all your images contain the alt="" tag with your keyword(s)/key phrase inside the quotes.

    Hope this gets you started

    As what I know, search engine can't read images that's why other are using alt tag and put keywords on it

    hi to all.

    Concerning the image optimization, you can do it with variety of tools.

    Photoshop (recommend), Corel Draw sute solutions, Macromedia Fireworks and many more. You have to focus on the size of your site in general, or if it is a big one, focus on the size of the elements in the first page (html's, images, flash, music, videos, etc.)

    Always have in mind to have an "easy loading" first page. It is the initial factor to attract attention after the users come.

    Except ALT attributes and keywords in the names of your images, it would be great to provide direct link to the file, of course with an optimized alt attribute and actual anchor text (and from a high PR page). It should be like this:

    <a href="imagename.jpg"><img src="imagename.jpg" alt="keyword phrase"><keyword phrase in anchor text></a>

    yes, concerning the keywords in the text, it is a good idea, but donot over do it!

    For Google will not make a difference if you have your keywords in 2-3 or in 5-6 places. 2-3 is even better if you put them in the right place.

    But for Google will make a difference if you have your keywords 10 times in one normal size page. not to mention more times. It looks spammy!

    use keywords in the image file name & alt tag. Also surround the images with the keyword optimized text.

    * use human readable file name
    * use images alt tags and title tags.

    these are the thinks that you can do for your images optimizations

    Another tip - don't use the height and width attributes to artificially resize your images Either resuze them manually in Photoshop/GIMP etc or use an auto-thumbnailer.

    Also, don't use a high compression on jpgs as artefacts look terrible on a webste

    Hope that helps

    I would advise to use height and width attributes just because of the convenience of users.

    Add alt tags on images. As of now, Google indexes faster and your images may get higher chances to be on the top of google's image search. Image searches gets high amount of traffic from your generated images.

    good thinking.

    You can also use the google image search for your goals

    Yes, they are referenced fast, but also when people will click on the image, automatically traffic is made to your web site thus increasing your traffic.

    how are you doing up to now?

    were our posts helpfull?
