ashtin,

Google and other search engines are fairly good at extracting keywords from a string that is not hyphenated. However, it is the best practice to use “-” or “_” when naming images – which one you use does not really matter.

Hi nbakewell! Nice site! Good work, keep it up :)

I always have tags in my images on my blogs.

does it make any difference for seo if an image is named brucespringsteen.jpg, bruce-springsteen.jpg, or bruce_springsteen.gif?

I always make sure to name my images accordingly and give them descriptive alt tags. I tend to post images frequently on my blog, but i’ve never actually checked to see how much traffic is coming in through image searching.

I just checked my referrer stats and I do see some traffic coming in from Google image search. Nothing major, but then again my site does not have many images on this. I can see how this would be very important for something like a desktop wallpaper site though.
