Thanks, very interesting point about Flickr. I do have a question regarding NC (Non-Commercial) Creative Commons License and affiliate sites, which I'm not sure whether they would violate that license by linking to a merchant site and getting commission from the conversions made.

Thanks for sharing what you found, if you type "images" in the search bar there is some info

(example:

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-find-add-images-to-your-website

but always good to have more ... :-)

Thanks for the info. I mostly use my own media but I will need to find some images on the web for my new site, as it won't be as easy to produce pictures and such.

I was struggling with is as well and spent hours trying to find images only in the public domain. What a waste of time! If you want to see how I'm doing it, I just put up a blog last night - http://backpainbooksandmore.com/is-heat-or-ice-better-for-back-pain.

I had the same question but I noticed that some of the authors specify. Otherwise, just link to the author, however you can. Look at the way I do it at dailylawofattraction.com

Hi Sofya.

It is a minefield using images you think may be free.

I would recommend you have a look at Beverley's post here: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/where-to-find-images-for-your-website - she keeps this up to date with reviews and links to paid for, and free image sites.

Cheers, Mark
