Not really different than doing seo on an html page.
Some key factors are :
1) Incoming links from pages that are related to the keywords 2) alt attribute with the right keywords when the image is displayed 3) The filename of the image should also have some keywords

Keep in mind too that a huge percentage of the people using image search are actually looking for pictures to use for their own websites and projects.
If however, you have a topic that has somewhat poor results in the regular search area, image searches do sometimes bring in a nice bit of traffic. I see that with my own sites.

for me, there really is a great possibility to rank your image in a certain keyword if you use this keyword in file name and alt tag inside the image tag. here's the example: <img src="image-url-with-keyword-as-a-file-name" alt="keyword">.

It's a pretty minor element, but if it helps, it helps. Probably much more helpful for onsite optimization of longer tail phrases that are less competitive.

Don't forget to give the image an alt tag, otherwise google won't index it!

So this is not as "super" important as everyone claims?
Nope, and as far as I know, the text is still the mian player!

We do some pretty extensive photo album uploading for our small buisness SEO clients. It is working out well for us.

Stuffing the alt and image names with your keywords can contribute to traffic, but not apocalyptic traffic. Most people who search for images are looking to use them for their own sites. A portion of that may want to look into articles with good visuals.

Search engines crawl the picture is mainly to extract keywords from the tag, it is important to note

If we use any images or picture we will have to use Alt attributes.Eventhough it is better to reduce the use of pictures. It is specified using the HTML alt tag. Search engine s save the value of image ALT attributes when they index pages.ALT attributes are very important in SEO.
