In short - make sure that before you upload an image that you name it with relevant keywords for your post and that you use the ‘alt’ attribute (again with relevant keywords) when adding your code.
Every standards-compliant, Google-sensitive image reference should contain 5 key items:
1. A src attribute specifying the URL of the image
2. A width declaration in which the width of the image is specified in pixels
3. A height declaration in which the height of the image is specified in pixels
4. An alt attribute that describes the content of the image—this is the #1 element of image-oriented SEO
5. A title attribute that contains text to be displayed when the user hovers his/her mouse over the image
SEO experts believe that this technique that Chris outlines will also help with SEO in Google Search (and other search engines).

These ideas have been working on my website for years now. They’re well worth adopting (as well as bring good programming, anyway).
