Posting Images to help SEO?
I'm not sure where to post this thread but here goes.
Google Images will show your images/link to the images on your Website provided you give them a clear and obvious Image Title or Caption.
I'm wondering if it would be good/bad to create a few 'image pages' on a Website and give the images great Image Titles/Captions and so they will come up in relavant searches - and add a link on these Images Pages to the Home Page on the Website to drive traffic to the Website.

Posting Images on Flickr, Digg.com/Images, etc.
Is anyone aware if posting our Clients images on Flickr (and other Image Hosting Websites) - and providing a link to the clients Website is a good Link Strategy?

Images are always good to have on site. Instead of making few image pages you will better improve you seo score if you add relevant images with the content and setup properly title, alt and description of the image...
For Flickr backlinks I think those are nofollow but I did not logged long time a go there, so someone should verify that.

Personally, I use image search only when I need to find some image. And I'm pretty sure many people do the same way.
If you mean to move your images into "image results" section of the normal web search - it won't help you much either. Image results are normally shown only for some general queries, like "car", but the won't show if you search some more specific "car rental".
Also, if you simple make a page loaded with images having they ALTs stuffed with keywords - this will look (and will be) spammy. I would go with that idea if there's some value in each image for a visitor. Otherwise - don't bother.

You can get traffic from image search, but these customers tend not to buy anything.
They are just looking for an image (which is why they did an image search), and they will frequently not even look below Google's frame to see what your site is about. Their eyes are firmly fixed on the image on the top.
I guess you could try to break the frame with a script on your template, to force them to view the page. But image searchers are not the best quality traffic.

I suppose it depends on what you want to achieve.
Do you want the image pages just for the rankings, or are these pages actually meant to act as a gallery to benefit the user?
