Photo attribution
-
I have seen popular blogs use the Getty images of newsworthy figures with attribution. Is there a special way to request this privilege, besides just emailing them and asking? I am working with an author who is getting ready to start blogging on a more visual basis.

I know that I can buy Getty images, but the ones I have seen have attributes to Getty, you wouldn't do that if you had bought it. The normal cc images are usually not as high quality as the Getty ones. Thats why I was wondering how they could be accessed by bloggers without purchasing outright. Thanks for your response!!

Hi Carin
Most likely you'll be required to pay a fee to acquire the use of such images. Getty images provides its royalty free images online, if you're interested.
A more affordable option, especially for startup blogs and authors, is to download free, royalty free images. There are a few sites that offer this, such as http://www.sxc.hu/ and http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/
Google also allows you to search for images that are free to share or use. If you click on this advanced search query for 'apple', you can see at the bottom of the page a setting for usage rights. Set that to 'free to use or share' and you'll get a bunch of images you can use.
Hope this helps!

Write new articles or republish old ones?
Hi,
Content Development | | Enrico_Cassinelli
we run a tourism information website about a region in italy, and each year, during special occasions such as christmas, easter and so on we publish an article with a "what to do on Christmas / Easter / .... in the Langhe" (collecting events, activities, etc.). Is it better to "reuse" the old articles and change only the year in the title and of course the content (providing that we are gonna keep the URL without year), or to publish a new one? thanks!0 -
Chat GPT
I want to get your thoughts on Chat GPT for creating articles on my site to drive SEO. Does Google approve of this type of content or not? I seems quite good quality - I suppose a key question also is: is it duplicate content? I have used on Propress website and also on blog sites so need to understand if this will reduce my rankings. Thanks

New blog contributors
For context my website is a content resource portal. In SEO training I have been told that it is a good SEO move to have as many content contributors as possible. As a result we are pushing to recruit new content contributors so they can be listed as new contributors/authors on our site alongside their valuable content. Would this move be good for our SEO rankings and is there anything in particular to consider with this?

How to get readers to engage with content
Hi everyone! Over the last year and a half, we've ramped up our content generation and have now hit our stride with a steady stream of blogs and videos. Both qualitatively and quantitatively, we are seeing great results. The problem is that the qualitative feedback is always passive. When we see clients, partners, etc. in person, they tell us that they love the content, but no one ever leaves comments or uses the call to actions to submit their info. There are some social shares, but now that LinkedIn no longer has a counter, it's hard to tell how much. I'm looking for advice on strategies to get more active engagement with our content. The ideal outcome would be active conversations and lead generation. Thanks everyone!

Internal Links from Blog
Quick question. In regards to linking to products from your blog. I've read recently that linking excessively between your site can be a bad SEO habit. So, I was curious if anyone else has heard of this. Plus, if you have a blog, how many internal links should you have going to you pages on your site - other blogs, products etc? Thanks.
