The downside is you’re putting some stock photographer(s) out of work in the name of links.
I don’t consider that a downside, Bill. :-) The idea that a single stock photo should cost hundreds of dollars for limited use is ridiculous. I sold six of my photos to the local visitor’s bureau for less than $400 (would’ve been more if they were all hi-res) and they look every bit as good in the 2008 Visitor’s Guide (just got the print version) as the expensive stuff. We all have to learn to adapt, photogs are no exception.
And BTW, thanks for submitting this, Wiep. I never thought this would’ve gone hot. :-)
Well Matt, I’m sure some think the price of SEO is ridiculous so what’s your point?Not all stock photography is expensive, some people shoot stock in volume and sell to those royalty-free inexpensive stock sites where you pay a flat fee for all you want.However, sometimes stock shooters get that once-in-a-lifetime kick ass image and it’s worth hundreds or even thousands if some big corporation wants an exclusive for that image.Anyway, I suppose if you put them out of business they can pick up SEO as a new career since they’ll have all the images they need to get links! ;)
Most people promise to link back but they do not do so. Also, many will use your images, like for example of your product and claim their product is better. Some people go as far as to scrape your images and content to create crappy MFA sites.
