anyone knows if putting tag in HTML that links to image that is hosted in another domain adds to the ranking of the second domain anyhow?
If I understand what you trying to do, you are creating a link per say, and if you do image hosting, you will get a ton of links, and better PR. Is a good way to get traffic, but will be almost no conversions.
to me it makes sense that a page that presents image that sits in another domain will contribute to it’s ranking, but I don’t know if Google actually does this… I thought maybe someone knows
let’s say that I have domain called “seo.com” and in it I put one image (jpg file for example)
and in other web pages I put HTML with img tags that show this image
will this higher the ranking in the domain seo.com in a way?
and sure, if you can test it and tell me what you found out, it’d be great

Sure it will, if that image tag is wrapped in an tag, which will provide link juice to the destination page. How much link juice will be determined by the PR of the source page, obviously. It is doubtful that an image reference to an alternate domain, by itself, will do anything at all for you, SEO-wise.
I am actually running a test on this as we speak. We all know that google counts the first link on a page, so set up two test groups, one I used anchor text to link to a page and then linked an image to the same page, in the second group I linked the image and then after it put a link with anchor text.
Test Group 1:
(Anchor Text Link) (image link with tag)
Test Group 2:
(image link with tag) (Anchor Text Link)
I’m hoping to be able to track any PR shift and increase in ranking for the obscure terms based on this test.
