Hi there,

The top image search engines do not have any specific way to submit
images, they find them from web pages that are already in their index.

To have your images appear in search engine results, do the following:

1. Make sure you place an alt attribute within the image tag, like
this:

<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of the image">

2. Also try to have a description of the image within the surrounding
text, like writing driectly beneath the image: "Madonna on holiday in
Vegas".

3. Use keywords in the image file name, like: ice-cube.jpg

4. Submit your website to the search engines the normal way and they
will index the images in due course.

5. When people search for keywords that are within your image's alt
attribute, file name and/or surrounding text, your image will appear
in the results.


Best wishes,
