“How does Image Search traffic compare to Web Search traffic? On a busy site with badly named images, should I expect an increase in traffic if I give all images descriptive names?”

I have to agree. It is indeed almost clear that if you search for "dog" via image search you will most likely find images named "dog.***" and pictures that are near content that targets a "dog" issue.
I think the more interesting part would be, can descriptive names for images near appropriate content increase my traffic? And how important are alt tags and title tags in this question.
Does the length of the image name matters? For example if you name your image "Should-I-expect-increased-traffic-if-I-optimize-my-images.jpg". Sometimes you want to be more specific, so you use a longer name, but does that matter to google or will it just ignore the (really) long image names?
very good as usual
