Image Optimisation - SEO

How do I improve my pages for image optimisation?

I have images of Color Schemes and I would like for them to be indexed by google.

Here's my page: http://www.colorcombos.com/combolibrary.html

Is image optimisation all about the image filename?

Thanks!

 

use an alt tag, and the text around the image will also help.

 

example:

<img src="image_name.jpg" alt="image description" title="image description" />

Code (markup):

 

Have a read of Optimizing for Google Images, it contains everything you need to know.

Google Image bot is alot slower then the regular Index Bot, so it takes time as well as correctly optimized images.

 

I am using alt tags and titles. I am wondering if the file name is the most important part. Maybe I need to add the keywords into the file name?

 

Don't forget to redirect the traffic when they click on the image to something useful.

 

What do you mean? Did you see something on the page?

Right now it redirects them to the Combo Tester page.

 

I support this.But what u think of the name of image ?

 

beside the tag, you must give the exact file name with underscore and do not more than 6 character ..

example : nokia_n73_cell_phone (do not write nokia_n73_cellphone)

Thanks

 

* use human readable file names
* use alt and title tags
* add witdh and heigth of the images

these are what i'm doing for my images

 

How big are your image file names? Would you name a file like this:

color-scheme-using-336699-ff3300-fffff.png

 

But everyone uses alt and title tags. How come they rank better with no difference then other sites ?

 

I think Google also reads the meta information embedded in images
