On-page Optimization is the pillar of your SEO and one of the most important on page optimization factors is image optimization. Image SEO optimization is one of the building blocks of on page optimization. Images are a strong visual component of a webpage.
Some important techniques of optimizing images:
1. Always insert images related
to your blog post. Its enhance blog beauty. Image-related information can be
provided for by using the "alt" attribute
2. Store files in specialized directories
and manage them using common file formats
3. Use brief, but descriptive
filenames and alt text. using generic filenames like "image1.jpg",
"pic.gif", "1.jpg" when possible—some sites with thousands.
of images might consider automating
the naming of images. writing extremely lengthy filenames. stuffing keywords into
alt text or copying and pasting entire sentences.
4. Supply alt text when using
images as links. If you do decide to use an image as a link, filling out its
alt text helps Google understand more about the page you're linking to. Imagine
that you're writing anchor text for a text link. writing excessively long alt
text that would be considered spammy. using only image links for your site's
navigation.
5. Supply an Image Sitemap file.An
Image Sitemap file can provide Googlebot with more information about the images
found on your site. Its structure is similar to the XML Sitemap file for your
web pages.
6. Rename your image in no more
than 3 words. Less is best
7. Use only rich keywords and not
simple connecting words like "is, to, for, by, between, are, etc".
8. Image size is a very crutial
factor for your overall user experience. Images can make your page heavy. Put
up a webpage that takes more than 10 seconds to load, and your users will
escape faster than you can say “back button”. After the recent Panda update,
the loading time of pages has become a vital part for your SEO ranking as the
total time of visit has become more important as a SEO algorithm. So its
important to keep your images low in bytes.
9. Avoid using default image file
names like, “DSC0019.jpg” as it does not give
much information about the image. Use descriptive filenames with keywords
separated by “-” (hyphen).
10. Images are eye-catching so
are perfect for linking. But proper image linking techniques can offer even
better results. One of the basic tips for image linking is to avoid linking
your images directly. Always use relevant anchor texts whenever linking your
images. This is even more effective for your SEO when embedding images in a
guest post or other pages intended to get a link back to your site.
Remember to use a title tag whenever linking your images. Title tag provides a tool tip when you hover your cursor over a link. Use relevant keywords and SEO friendly description and your title tags will rock.

Blogger blog image optimization in HTML view:
Whenever you add a photo to your post editor, always switch to "Edit HTML" mode and find the HTML code for the image which will look like this:<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0NBYwgZ5_I3_ggx9-geKa7wvQFQXXVb-WvbuqoVkdWRFmLaqBAKAQb3ctH9jBS8Dp6TY3eXkXvaB3piXVZ636LfNlsaqI7agllj2j0pXf95SABIJU6bVq5dBXLvq1D7aQgoOS4m5FLg/?imgmax=800" ><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0NBYwgZ5_I3_ggx9-geKa7wvQFQXXVb-WvbuqoVkdWRFmLaqBAKAQb3ctH9jBS8Dp6TY3eXkXvaB3piXVZ636LfNlsaqI7agllj2j0pXf95SABIJU6bVq5dBXLvq1D7aQgoOS4m5FLg/?imgmax=800" /></a>
I know it looks weird but you just need to identify the HTML code of the image which is the highlighted portion. Add the alt tag just after <img as shown below,
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0NBYwgZ5_I3_ggx9-geKa7wvQFQXXVb-WvbuqoVkdWRFmLaqBAKAQb3ctH9jBS8Dp6TY3eXkXvaB3piXVZ636LfNlsaqI7agllj2j0pXf95SABIJU6bVq5dBXLvq1D7aQgoOS4m5FLg/?imgmax=800" ><img alt="IMAGE DESCRIPTION" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0NBYwgZ5_I3_ggx9-geKa7wvQFQXXVb-WvbuqoVkdWRFmLaqBAKAQb3ctH9jBS8Dp6TY3eXkXvaB3piXVZ636LfNlsaqI7agllj2j0pXf95SABIJU6bVq5dBXLvq1D7aQgoOS4m5FLg/?imgmax=800" /></a>
This way you will turn your images into a traffic driving source and can expect fair amount of increase in daily visitors just by adopting the habit of Image Tagging.

Allow Images to Get Indexed:
This thing about Joomla has always left me surprised In the automatically generated robots.txt file that is created on installation, Joomla! includes a disallow rule for the images directory, instructing the search engines not to search or index your images folder.Therefore, Remove /images/ folder from “robots.txt”Image Optimization:
Images are becoming increasingly important in SEO because they are sometimes included in search results but using too many images can slow down the loading of your Joomla website. Try to decide if all your images are really needed , now nice effects can be done with css3, so sometimes images are unneeded.
