  That’s exactly what I used to do, Cindy - spend too much time combing the web for the “right” image.

  Unfortunately, no one ever notices the “right” image, but they always notice the uncommon and funny ones.

  So I made my life easier and increased reader involvement by simply thinking outside the box on this one.

  I see your point about “borrowing” pictures, Nicole.

  However, here’s another side of it: when you “borrow” a picture that doesn’t explicitly say you can’t use it on your site and you link back to image source, that website is getting some free link building. That’s a very good thing.

  Just as well as I don’t necessarily mind my content being syndicated all over the web without my clear permission, but as long as they keep my posts intact and link back to me, I get free backlinks.

  So there’s definitely an advantage in having your image distributed around the web.

  Thanks, Kevin - funny always equals more traffic, comments, etc.

  You are very welcome, Justin.

  Images are definitely something every blogger needs to pay more attention to.

  All good points, Brankica.

  First of all, I don’t aim to get my images listed on image searches, because for the most part, that traffic is not targeted. Most of the times, they are just looking for an image they can use on their site, not your content.

  I use ALT tags primarily to strengthen my SERP positions for my chosen keywords.

  As far as image copyrighting is concerned, it’s a tough one, since opinions differ vastly.

  In any way, you are absolutely right: you need to credit the image source to be on the safe side.

  For instance, many of the images I use have a copyright stamp right on them - this keeps me out of trouble and gives credit where credit is due.

  If there’s no copyright on the image, then I always link to the image source - wherever I found it. Al least that way, I feel more confident using images on TGC.

  Also, to answer your question, there is rarely a way to truly tell if the image is copyrighted since images are freely republished so many times, it’s almost impossible to trace them back to the source.

  Bottom line: always name your source, even if you are not sure, it was the original one.
