      Hello,

      Can anybody give any other advice for image optimization except keyword use in file name and alt tag, which would effect the item to be ranking higher on google images, I have searched google on this, but did not find any reallyuseful tips other than those mentioned above...

      Should I mention my main keywords that I try to rank in as many image files and different pages as possible, but without stuffing and relevant to the content?

      Thanks a lot

        The quality of your image and its appeal to people are the most powerful optimization elements.

          Thanks, do you mean by quality anything specific?

          My pics are very appealing to the audience (since I have most elegant designs on the market, most likely) and I am wondering is there any specific things I can do?

            Hello Oksana,

            The context matters. So if the page Title, textual body Content and Images or other media are all about the same topic you should be fine. Additionally, you may want to make sure that the keyword for which you want the image to rank is on the page, preferably in the paragraph next to the image, and perhaps repeated in the image caption. This should help, when not overdone.

            Other things might be whether anyone else is linking to that image file, or the page/s on which the image is used, including the domain/page authority from the linking site, as well as the text used in the link. Social shares like Pins and Tweets may help.

            If you're using a content delivery network (CDN) to host the images there's an additional set of issues to think about.
