File name of image: Make sure to include keywords in the file name. So if you are targetting format usb,then name the file as format-usb.jpg. Do not use underscores. Even Matt cutts has previously confirmed that dashes are better than underscores

Image Alt tags: This is good for usability and good for SEO as well. Make sure to use descriptive alt tags and include keywords.

Image Title tags: Same as alt tags. Simplify usage of good alt tags and title tags with Friendly images plugin for wordpress

Size of the image: Larger images have a better chance of succedding

Text around the image: Make sure to include keywords in the text sorrounding the image

Title tag, meta tags, header tags, and the relevancy of the content on the page

Make sure to use google image labeler to label your images

Image search results do not monetize well since google shows the results in an iframe. Solve that problem by adding the following code to your page. Now when a person clicks on a image search result, he will directly come to your site like normal search.


<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
if (top.location != self.location) top.location.replace(self.location);
</script>
