How would a photographer gain any significant PageRank for his or her site when the subject that really matters—images—has no anchor text? Often, the photos alone will sell the photographer to his/her clients. How can we overcome this challenge?

@SEOAwareDOTcom - Probably because Land Lubber asks a lot of good questions. This was an excellent one. If his/her questions are the best, they're the ones Google should answer - regardless of how many times they do so.

Thanx. Most artist are not be able to describe their own pictures as other people see it. So a comment-area ist a good idea but also a lot of work. I removed this feature becaus 80% of comments were spam.

Eg. if you have a beautiful tree in an Image with other background things, we could realize the Tree place a significant importance than others like bird or dog in the image. while the Bot(spider) cannot realize it. Hope it understand a bit for you . ----- Catch me @ HiSwat

@Land Lubber : Try to add some Description for Photos not for SEO purpose but for people. That will help you. You can also share in Flickr that may help you rank well. ---- If you have to know the answer why images are not crawled by BOT because every images is formed by Graphs ( in deep sense , DOTS) that is extended in two axis . The Main negative point in crawling Images is, the bots(spiders) cannot understand what is the main part of the image needed to be crawled.

@TGcommercial Not just ALT, also Title attributes. Alt = aternate. On some sites, instead of the red x, you get that alt content.

@NICHOLASM1987 What I was talking about was I think the asker wanted to know how to get PAGERANK to their site through links. Matt answered how to optimize the content of the page. So I said it would be a good idea to put ALT tags in the images which are links from other sites.

Flickr can also be used to generate a geo-sitemap. That could be good for relevance for location based photos.
