This is the shortest Google Webmaster Tools video ever, so watching it is not going to waste much of your time… the question is: “Does PageRank flow through image links” – and the answer, is in the video:
Haha, Matt is so funny :). Of course it flows. How can people ask so easy questions? Also the anchor text is considered the alt attribute. Also it flows through 301 redirects as well. It does not flow through rel=nofollow links. Put do not worry about PR. Not only that, but even links are becoming more and more irrelevant. The future is in user behavior.
It’s actually pretty crappy that it does. If you host images on different domains (as per the google pagespeed tool suggestion), you end up with strange results.
Good information for a newbie, but generally I’m sure it’s accepted image links do pass on value too. We have to be careful when setting image names, and alt text.
Matt Cutts : Let me troll webmasters and bloggers today!
Us : Ohh wow, another Matt Cutts video. Yippeee!!
Matt Cutts : Le video starts, clears his throat, le video ends!

It mustn’t be a question, of course it flows! I mean, you have to use dofollow links, but it really works! And forget the nofollow ones…
For newbies, this is one great tidbit of information that they can use.

A link without a nofollow tag is still valid, whether it wraps a string of text or an image tag, of course it works !.
