Hosting Images Remotely - Does it Affect SEO?

[forumposters]

If we host our images remotely, will we hurt our SEO in anyway?

You mean you host the images on a different server to a page?

No, that shouldn't have any effect on SEO.

Our images are hosted at Amazon S3 and we just link to amazon's server in our html href tag.

Our domain has been listed in Googles web SERPS for over a week now, but Google images has not indexed any of our images that are remotely hosted. We'd like to get our images indexed in Google images because the site in question is a photo gallery. I'm thinking that it does make a difference where our images are hosted and that we should move them back to our local server.

I have a site with an image hosted on another site but if you click it in Google image search it links to our site so I think you are fine.
