How to make GOOGLE IMAGE index my site?

Does any of you guys have a good tip on how to make google image to index my images on my blog? it has gone over 1 months now and still no images :/ while google have index my entire site.

My blog is about 1 year old and i moved from wordpress.com to wordpress.org (self hosting) for about 1.5month ago, but the domain stays the same! the blog adress is dailymobile"dot"se

I am using wordpress blog with all in one SEO plugin and SEO image plugin


if the name of the title is: Pictures: Nokia E71 vs Blackberry Bold

the image code will look like this:

<a href='dailymobile"dot"se/pictures-nokia-e71-vs-blackberry-bold/nokia-e71-vs-blackberry-bold01/' title='nokia-e71-vs-blackberry-bold01'><img src="dailymobile"dot"se/nokia-e71-vs-blackberry-bold01.jpg" width="210" height="157" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="nokia-e71-vs-blackberry-bold01 Pictures: Nokia E71 vs Blackberry Bold" title="Pictures: Nokia E71 Vs Blackberry Bold" /></a>


and the meta keywords:

<meta name="description" content="Here are some comparing pictures of the Nokia E71 and Blackberry bold! About Nokia E71: Successor of the Nokia E61i, the E71 has the same" />
<meta name="keywords" content="nokia e71 vs blackberry bold,blackberry bold,blackberry,bold,nokia e71,e71,pictures,nokia,other phone brands,pictures / phone gallery" />


Am i doing something wrong? anything i can do so that google image will index my site better or faster?

Go to Google webmaster tools and set up Advanced Image Search for your site.

that has already been done long time ago and its still active =)

is the alt and title tag correct?

alt="nokia-e71-vs-blackberry-bold01 Pictures: Nokia E71 vs Blackberry Bold" title="Pictures: Nokia E71 Vs Blackberry Bold" />


or should the alt JUST be "Pictures: Nokia E71 vs Blackberry Bold"

It takes time for your images to show up in image searches -- much longer than for your pages to show up in the normal SERPs. Personally I put this down to Google requiring your site to establish a certain level of trust first. Given the difficulty computers have in detecting what the picture actually is within an image, I can understand why. It wouldn't be good for Google if you put up a site about mobile phones, only to have some xxx pictures throughout!

Tips to optimise:
1) Concise, accurate alt attributes. NB you don't need the filename in the alt attribute! Neither do you need the word "Pictures" -- given that it's an image file that should be quite obvious from the outset.

2) Descriptive filenames. This isn't essential though. Many of my images do very well in image searches, yet have a filename constructed from a shortened md5 string based on the timestamp and IP address of the person adding the image.

3) Surrounding text, and page relevance. This is very important and as far as I can make out goes a long way to helping Google determine the relevance of the image.

4) Image title attribute - doesn't help as far as I can tell.

5) Image size. If there's many similar images to yours at approximately 150x150px, then try to also include a larger image to stand out from the crowd.

Also bear in mind that as with the standard SERPs, the level of competition is an important factor -- point 5 kind of makes reference to this. Ranking well for mobile phone images is always going to be difficult given the vast number of images for each make and model that already exist on the Internet, and on websites far stronger than yours.

1: the SEO plugin that im using adds both file name and the post titel at the ALT tag. is that good? or does google think its spam?

4: the SEO plugin adds the posts title as the image title also.

5: the thumbnails are linked to the original file thats bigger.

here is an example post of how my picture post looks like this: dailymobile*dot*se/2008/09/07/nokia-n79-high-quality-pictures/


do you think it would help to put a description under the image @ the image post? like the text "nokia n79" dailymobile*dot*se/2008/09/07/nokia-n79-high-quality-pictures/nokia-n79-high-quality-pictures01/

the usual image post looks like this (after clicking on the thumbnails) :without the "nokia n79" text: dailymobile*dot*se/2008/09/07/nokia-n79-high-quality-pictures/nokia-n79-high-quality-pictures03/

if wonder if it helps to create a robot.txt with the url to my sitemaps files? how would that robot.txt file look like?
i have two sitemaps on my site:

*url*sitemap-image.xml
*url*sitemap.xml

dammit! it has gone more than 3 months now and my site haven't got a google image index yet
