Would pictures help SEO?

Said I had a blog about skateboard videos or something. Would making posts on it with sort of photo albums help improve the SEO of the site over all.

If you make text posts of around 350 to 500 words and then add 3 or 5 pictures in along with relevant ALT text, then yes - the pictures will help.

They definitely help seo.
Just name the pics like this:
relevant-keyword-long-phrase.jpg
And alt tag:
alt="Relevant keyword long phrase"
At least if the user will click the pic will reduce bounce rate.

Exactly what he said.

I always name my pics a long tailed keyword and you would be surprised how much action you get from google images as well as a benefit in the text searches.

My theory is that google ranks sites better if they have images. Dunno if it works...
