So, I've never really bothered putting images in my articles on my sites, but I think I might start soon. Basically what I'm asking is: are there any sites that are 100% free that allow you to use their images?

Most that I find say that they are free but in reality they aren't.

Think I might have to look in to how to use SEO on images as well.

Thanks,
Jamie.

SXC.hu has quite a few free ones, although there are a limited number for some searches.

For SEO and usability, you can use 'alt' and 'title' tags.

Basic question, but how is credit given to the creator under Creative Commons?

Is it just a case of ensuring "image taken by ___" is present, or does there need to be a link back to the original source?

Have done some reading but couldn't seem to find a definitive answer.

Of course, depending on the niche, why not take just take your own camera?
With all the photo editing software that you get for free with digital cameras, might be worth the small learning curve?

It really depends on the niche. Free images are a pain in the arse most of the time - however I recently began developing a planets website and found that NASA has tens of thousands of images completely free for commercial use.
