    My competitor's website gets excellent traffic from google image search. But not one of my site's images comesup. I put the keywords in the file name and also put alt-text for it. :confused:

    Add content relevant to the image which can help you in indexing.

    How about the web content which relates to the image? I believe that is another point of consideration to work on.

    alt tags = success + related info to your images I have about 300 UV on one of my WP blogs and 21 % of my traffic is from Google Images .

    You might as well place the images in between some text which is related (use similar keywords).

    Alt tags, plus google has another way now to get more advanced results in relation to you images. Check your google webmaster tool account for the appropriate code.
