I started doing this on one of my website’s a few months ago and am seeing traffic growing. I have also seen an increase in RSS readers. I’m not sure if it’s the images or something else that I done.

I think renaming of images is a waste of time, and I stopped doing that a long time ago. It didn`t get me anything else than a lot of visitors that stayed only a few seconds on the site; a person googling for images aint interested in clicking on ads or reading, so then what is it good for? Nothing, imho.

I think that it is always important to rename your alt tags but they need to be tastefully done or it could come back to bite you. Always label exactly what is going on in the image without worrying too much about keywords.

The “alt” tag is used by Google solely for the blind reading purposes, however the actual file name of the image helps you gain “relevancy”

I have read this from a blogger maybe last week. I learned that renaming your photos will help in the optimization of your keywords. From now on I will follow this practice in order to have a higher ranking and to get targeted visitors to my site.
