I have loaded plenty of pictures into my pages and posts using WP media and after 16 months I found out if you are going to load an image always rename the image with your keyword before you load it into WP Media.
There are reasons why you should know about image file name and I am very disappointed I did not get the word about it before.
Why 'file name' Is Important.

First: the keyword in file name is a Google plus.
Second: You can not change the file name in WP Media. Delete and reload the image is only option.
Third: You are losing good avenues of additional visits through your images.
So the basic to know is rename your image in your computer before you browse it and load into WP Media. The rename should be your keyword used in URL and Page Title. Do and know this and later, you can go back and optimize with alt text, image title, etc.
