    Would it be bad to have more images on a page than reading content, for google SEO?

    Very bad idea. You will not rank good on Google. You need to balance the image & text part on a webpage (text more & images less) unless its image-only type of website (like tumblr)

    It is not a bad idea but you are not allowed to stuff images on the website. You have to put content on the page as google love the content, and u can also put some relevant images with the alt tag targeted the keywords.

    Hmm, I don’t know! As for me, I like interesting and creative pictures! But...content is very important too! You can use only actuality and moders information!

    So what about ecommerce sites, they usually would have more images than text yet google ranks them?

    Now a days search Engines like google prefer more text than images. If using images have to give alt tag with proper text in such a way that it describes the image. Or just as a caption for the image meaningfully. I think Info graphics is Ok.

    For better rankings in search engines, you should use more text instead of images. (I guess your site is not an images/wallpapers site)

    If you think you may copy content for someone. Then use Image is the best way. And if your unique content, I think more content, just some image ti decorate and explain . Cheers !

    Using just image on a page is not an idea. You have to balance your page with images as well as text. images are use for illustrate the topics to the users in a creative way while texts makes it more readable.

    Yeah I agree. You also need to share something useful for Google to recognize your page. Something informative. Content is a best way to gain trust of visitors.

    If you want more images on your website without being penalized or overlooked from Google, simply use the alt tag inside the image tag. Inside the alt tag, put down some text for SEO.

    You should use many images but yes using more images than content is bad. But remember this:

    To keep the reader engaged, you must use one image in every 75-100 words.

    As per my knowledge according to google update google loves fresh and unique content more than image, but if you are using proper use of images with your ALT tag is like Cherry on Cake.

    That would not be good idea. and would not be accepted by Google. Remember that content is king! It gives substance to your page. So always find a way to balance your image and content.
