Best places to get pictures for blog posts?

[charles1]

Well I'm really sick of reading people questions saying "help my sites been affected by penguin"

So I thought I would ask something about blogging, where is the best place to find and buy pictures for blog posts?

I already use Wikimedia commons. But I'm interested websites that have a bigger range that aren't too pricey.

What do you recommend?

That's a great list Keri - thanks for sharing that. (bookmarked).

Charles - check out http://www.stockvault.net in particular from the page that Keri sent through, I had a quick look and some of the free images on there are pretty good for standard blog posts.

Hi Charles,

I use a site called http://www.thinkstockphotos.com/ - it's a monthly subscription service where you get 25 image downloads a day.

Depends how many images you want I guess, but if you require a lot, a subscription service like this works really well.

Cheers,

Brad
