As you know, many search engines have started their image search services. This great change has brought a different point of view to the understanding of SEO. Although it may seems strange, some webmasters from different parts of the world whom I know or not have begun to use Image Optimization to get more hits from search engines, mainly focusing on Google. At first I couldnt believe in that crazy idea (Could getting hits by a good image optimization be possible?), and I tried it in one of my sites. The result was really surprising and fantastic. It really worked miracle and I started to get more hits from image searching especially made via Google.
What must be done for a good Image Optimization?
1- Do not name your images randomly!
We, the webmasters, generally use different images to make our websites good looking. These images may be a part of a template or a photo of a celebrity, flower, city, or anything else. Whether we use many or a few images, we should name them properly. Some dont do that and name the images in their websites oddly, such as pic1, image123 or photo-a. This is really a bad habit that you should give up for a good Image Optimization. If you are using a rose picture name it rose or rose-picture or rose-photo instead of just calling it as pic1.
2- Be aware of the benefits of alt tag!
The second step for Image Optimization is to use alt tag always in html codes. Naming the images is a good technique but it is not enough by itself. In addition to a good name, your images need top searched phrases in their alt tags. For instance, you use different city view photos of New York named properly such as New-York-Photo-1, New-York-Photo-2 and go on. The next step is to use good key phrases in their alt tags. Here are the examples:

Misconceptions About Search Engine Optimization
Picture this scene, an adolescent boy walks into a barber shop and says to the barber, Dont touch me, Im only here because my mom forced me.
