SEO with Images

Hi guys.
I’m using wordpress to show my photographs at Sam Smith Photography

Whilst i have a limited understanding of SEO, i’m pretty confused as to how to get my photos into google images. Even if i search the exact name of a photograph, it won’t come up, which leads me to believe it isn’t that i am not high enough ranked, it is because my images just haven’t been crawled by google. Would this be right? Do correct me if i am wrong.

Is there anything in particular that needs to be done in order for Google to crawl images, or is it just that my SEO is set up wrong.
I am using the plug ins “All in One SEO Pack Version 1.6.11” and “SEO Friendly Images Version 2.4.4” although i am not quite sure how to use the latter.

Thank you for any help you can give.

Sam

Check your access logs for “googlebot-Image” It may be that it has been checking your site. Second, it needs to be able to index the pictures. That means keyword either by the image name, title, alt, content in that order of importance. Third, if they determine they are dupes to other websites then it will not index those pictures and usually will flag your site as duplicate images so not to spider it.
