No doubt, Google consider the website loading time in Ranking... anyway these may be helpful:
a) Use reasonable image sized
b) Image names
c) Use proper keywords in Alt.
Alt text should be a description of what the image is as this will be displayed when the image cannot be displayed or is loading...
title text is what you want to say about the image and text will appear when moused over.
use as designed for the best SEO

At text is now more important with the enhanced Google image search. They have done alot of new things with the nature of the user experience and I think that as more people have blogs and use the web to communicate, image searchability will be important to any SEO strategy. The solution: long tail alt tags - UNIQUE
Off course its not mandatory but it does help if you do it properly. All the little things you can do to optimize your page, the better your ranking will be in the long run.Originally Posted by seo25
I need help here, my site has a lot of pictures and i wish i could get some advice on how to balance images on the website. Do i need to add tags for every picture?
Yes add keywords to every picture.
I'd just like to add something I just discovered.
I recently purchased an image to use in a blog post I'm about to publish. I went into the post (Wordpress publish) and went to media, etc. etc. to upload the image. Prior to doing this I had renamed the file in Explorer to another more search friendly name.
When the image loader screen open after reading the file, in the title attribute box, the original name of the image was displayed.
It looks like Wordpress can read meta data of an image and if Wordpress can, Google can too.
Just my observations...

Submit your content at my content publishing site and promote your business, services or opinions.
If the images are indexed by Google then you should be optimising them. It doesn't take too long and anything that can help?
Also users do use google image search it may not be worth alot of time but why not make some effort for yours to show first?
I have had better SEO results with google image search since I added title attributes as well as alts to all my images...took me ages as have 450 plus pages on my site which is image intensive! For example <img src="xxx/xxx.jpg" alt="xxx" title="xxx" width="xxx" height="xxx" />
I also use advanced JPEG compressor program after photoshop to reduce image file size further without compromising quality...for the web I use 72dpi as well not more.

All search engines can read embedded information in any image. This is also a part of copy right protection of the original creators of the image. It can and will be traced no matter how you modify the image. Unless you can de-compile the image coding. As you all know, image is composed from 0 and 1. Basic computer language. It is therefore very simple task to embed additional code which is not visible as an image, but is visible if you have the right software.
