Placing an image inside a header tag should work. I don’t know why the search engines would give that image any more weight than any other.

I would avoid doing this as it seems a bit spammy and may reduce your quality score in combination with other factors.

…accepted bij search engines to place an image inside a header tag?…

Placing it in pointy brackets apparently prevents is from being posted…

Is it still accepted bij search engines to place an image inside a tag? I’ve found information both proving and disproving this and I’d like to know for sure.

Ya it is right .

How toOptimize your images for search engines:

* Keywords in alt text, text around the image, image name, page title;
* Preferred image formatting – jpg;
* Separate SE accessible image folder;
* Image freshness. (SEW suggests re-uploading your images to keep them fresh);
* Enabled image search option at Google webmaster tool.
* Reasonable image file size (see the discussion at WW)
* Limited number of images per page;
* Popular and reliable photo sharing hosting (e.g. Flickr is reported to help in Yahoo! image optimization).

Alex: “Time for an article on optimizing for google video search?”

Yes indeed, I would absolutely love a good article on that subject.

Interesting! I have reached the #1 spot on google images for several images, and also get some nice targeted traffic from this, but had not come across the idea of putting an image inside an tag before – indeed, I have investigated the source code of many images that have hit the number one spot and not seen this before! This could be a “secret weapon”.
It’s true that image search is the undiscovered country of SEO. I have a feeling that video search too will soon become more important: Time for an article on optimizing for google video search? ;)
