The effect of image names on webpages.

[scottybuzz]

Helo there, long time since I posted here, anyway I would like a quick discussion on the effect that image names have on rankings.

I recenltly popped on a some pages with images names similar to this;

jenna-jameson (1)
britney-spears (1)
porn (2)
porn (3)

they are just examples. Anyway would having the space, between them have any effect? I know some servers hate having spaces, but im wondering would the search eginnes care and maybe rank me lower?


would I be better of calling them;

jenna-jameson001
britney-spears001
porn002
porn003

or quite simply does it not matter?

your opionions?

Assuming Google has only the image filename to go by,

jenna-jameson.jpg would rank for "jenna jameson"
jenna-jameson001.jpg would rank for "jenna" and "jameson001", but not "jenna jameson"
jenna jameson" would rank for "jenna20%jameson", but not "jenna jameson"
jenna+jameson.jpg or jenna.jameson.jpg would rank for "jenna jameson"
Jenna_jameson.jpg would rank for "jenna_jameson", but not "jenna jameson"
