Many of the commercial stock agencies have free photos of the day as a promotional strategy .. this eliminates the extra reading of every photographers terms of usage on places like flickr because the stock agencies have a global policy that applies to every photographer.

A very glaring demonstration of how important images are your 125 x 125 flash images ads. See how marketing people take advantage of this technique. Definitely, images will not only bolster your blog but will make you money once it's full use is tapped.

People I follow in the visual artist community advise that you should always contact the photographer first, even if the photo is in the creative commons section. This ensures that you are protected in the event things go sideways.

You must also be aware that copywrite laws differ from country to country. The laws in the UK and Australia are different than the US and Canada and as we know the internet is a worldwide market.

Flickr now has an internal email system so that you can email the photographer if you are a member of Flickr.

Another great resource I just found and started to use is Wikimedia where many of the photographs are Public Domain.

That’s an important point, there’s a Wall Street Journal article about businesses that try to build online communities. One of the points they make is that the businesses spend a lot of time creating a technological marvel and forget about the people.

The competitors statistics may, or may not be true picture of a sites success – but I would still take them seriously, all the same.

Another resource I've found is to ask readers of your blog to submit photos and specify that they are going to be used for whatever purpose you deem necessary. Most people who are reading you are interested in the topics you cover and many of them will have pictures relating to it. But you have to plan ahead for it. Asking 5 minutes before you want to publish the article isn't going to work.
