How do you put a picture of yourself on google images?

Answer
Dear Alexander,
You can’t just post an image in Google Images. Google Images searches the internet for photos whose description matches the search terms you entered. However, it is not very clear how Google does the ranking of the photos.
An example: suppose you search for “Yves Leterme” in Google Images. Then all kinds of photos of our new prime minister appear, which were published on various websites, especially news sites.
How do you ensure that you still get a photo in Google Images? Well, because Google doesn’t really tell you how they rank the images (which photo comes in 1, which 2, and so on) that question isn’t easy to answer. You should in any case put the photo somewhere on the internet, for example on your own website, or on your facebook page. But it is very important that you include the correct description of the photo and that you give the photo a good name. For example, name your photo alexander-selen.jpg and add a little comment/caption, such as “Alexander Selen on the football field” (I’m just saying something). If you search for “Alexander Selen” in Google Images, there is a chance that your photo will show up in the results. The longer your photo has been online, the more likely Google Images will find it.
So, I hope this helps you a bit!
Greetings,
Jurgen.
