How to Promote Image Based Blogs

If your blogs are devoted to show images or information conveyed to people by pictures, you must keep in mind that the text you write in image, cannot be read by google. However, the name of picture file can make google to guess what the image is. To understand, consider an example, if you upload a picture named '123' and the picture is of the cat, then it will not prove informative for search engines. If you rename that picture as Playing Cat, that will make sense for search engines to understand the picture.

Google Search Technology

Don't think that google prefer websites in search engines instead of blogs or vice versa. Google is fully democratic as well as automated search engine. Google neither accept money nor make it personally to rank a website or blog higher. Google uses automated software called "Spiders" to crawl the webpages regularly. If webpages are optimized to that "crawlers" standard, then it will cause your webpages to be consider by crawlers to be prefered as higher ranking. The criteria for a blog or website to be considered by crawlers is the design, availablility of pages at time of crawling,and connection of site to others.
When your website or blog is index on google, your pages can be seen in search results. You cannot leave your blog orphan after making it in order to promote it. To make the blog to be searched by people on search engine, you will have to submit your blog URL to search engines. For blogs, use Google Pinging service.

Blogs of Friends and Family to Promote Your Blog

If you have more than one blogs, link all of them together. Also ask your friends and family members who use internet to add links to your blog in their blogs. This will be useful for you, as well as your friends and family. Check wether "Following" on your blogs is enabled or not. Make "Following" option enabled like my blog.
