Answer 3

There's actually a very simple way to get pictures of your site in the search engines.

Sign up with digg.com, click "Submit new" put up a title and a keyword rich description, and digg will search your site for images and let you choose which one to use.

After 24 to 48 hours if you have chosen the right keywords and a good description your search engine ranking should be a lot better, perhaps you'll even be on the first page.

Image optimization is the same as website optimization, you need to do the following:

- Add a good name with your keywords separated by (-)

- Link your images to other related topic of the image

- Digg and sphinn your articles

- add your images to flickr

- have captions and title description and link title attribute with your major keywords - note not to spam, and use them as you are dealing with search engine as a human.
