I’m going to follow these tips purely for the ‘personal branding’ aspect… after neglecting my online persona for too long and not appearing anywhere in a Google search for my name I decided to take charge.
I’ve made it to the top for my own name now (although getting a first name listing for ‘Tim’ is unlikely), and the next step is to ensure that I appear in some of the image SERPs too.

Putting the images in aptly named folders will also help. For example…
images/programming/languages/javascript.jpg
is better than…
images/javascript.jpg

Maybe I missed it in the comment replies, but why #6? Is there a link to some research you can provide as to why .png extensions outperform other graphics formats?

Good tips, I am curious as too why png works best though I do have thoughts on the matter.Did you test them I presume you did hence your conclusion.

Interesting! I wonder why .png works best…?

But what about visitor-quality through image search? I never stay at a website when searching for a particular image.
