    You might be not using best keywords that describe the image.

    How old is your site? If its a new site, then I suggest you want for some time.

    Hmmm, I think this has nothing to do with indexing the images or not. lol~ Anyway, thanks!

    Great read, thanks man! It's maybe because google doesn't deem my images as unique ones and thus not indexing them.

    Approx. a month old.

    Use title and alt tags, and assign keywords that properly explains the image.

    If you have a image of a tv, for the keyword you could use the tv brand and tv after it.

    title="Samsung T.V." alt="Review covering Samsung T.V."

    If you want to go a little further try and place your images near heading tags.

    <h1>SAMSUNG TVs in America</h1>
    <img src="images/samsung-tv.png" title="Samsung T.V." alt="Review covering Samsung T.V." />

    Hope this helps out some.

    Thanks the things you mentioned have all been implemented for some time, but still just a few images are indexed.

    I guess it's just Google is so advanced in distinguishing similar images, because most of my images are already somewhere on the web.

    Google is not indexing so much the images as the content. It is rather a text content search engine, just as any other. To improve the index of your images you should name your images (las-vegas-hotel.gif etc), and also write alt text to your images. This should improve the indexing for certain keywords
