I found this great read on Image SEO on searchenginewatch.com

Image search results are being pushed up more and more into the contextual (web) search results, and to improve usability...

SearchBliss is #1 in Google for "webmaster services" for example, but on the image search ??? Could optimizing images be beneficial? Probably.

I knew the day would come when something I've known for four years starts to get revealed by the mainstream.

The thing that scares me about it is that people will start "optimizing" images by stuffing alt tags. The other thing that scares me is that, for a brief time period, it may work.

Good point Adam. It seems that Google uses the image name in results more than the alt in their image search. I may be wrong, or maybe it's both, but I wouldn't worry about keyword stuffing alt tags, because the site doing this would get penalized.

Just put one keyword in there and dont stuff it. Try to make sure they keyword is ralated to the picture.
