Best place to get pics for website

Mmfh · 10-13-2009, 10:27 AM

Hello everyone,

I would like to know what you consider the best place to get images for your websites?

Places like Istock are to me just to expensive for what you get.

Is there a place that is popular with Marketers that has good images and good prices?

Possibly someone knows of great places for free images besides google images.

As usual Thanks very much!

Before you think of using Google images on your site you might want to read this thread:

I always use GettyImages. They arent particularly cheap, but the quality is fantastic.

If your into a particular niche, and have a list or audience, then you can ask them to send you pics of your choice, you could try it for free, or offer them a few bucks, it works great!

Another technique I use is Craigslist, post whatever your looking for, and wait for responses, I used it to get pics of a particular dog breed, and payed $20 for 10 pics done by a proffesional photographer!

Hope this helps
