pictures for pen names

16 years ago

Personally on the articles directories no.

One day i relized my outsourcer had put in some photo's, (she just used google images of all places), got her to remove them straight away.

I use my picture on my main profiles, but not on my pen names, haven't seen any noticeable difference in ctr's / views etc - currently at around 600 articles on ezines on the account (3 pen names currently)

Thanks

Nope. On content I've written or had ghost written (I always hand edit these), I always use my name.

Well that would considered also as plagiarized pics, it's better avoid such things.

I use dozens of pen names. None have pictures.

If I did get pictures for them, I would go to my favorite cheap photo place, Fotolio, and buy the rights on an image.

And don't worry too much about whether other people are using that image or not.

If they are, and someone calls you on it, say you did it for privacy purposes...

This is a great answer that is well understood, especially when the pen name is a woman.

Thanks

I have always wondered about this as well. Some of the
pictures on EZA look like models from iStock.

I would not doubt it for a second.

I have some friends that go to iStock for Twitter profiles...

I can't remember who found it, but there was a thread that
pointed out the picture someone used on two entirely different
sites.

I think the photo was used as the author of a Clickbank product,
then the exact same photo was used on a site as the customer
service rep.

That is funny.

There is also some girl that I think they call the most famous face online. She has a blog where she documents her story.

While in college, she did a one-day photo shoot on campus.

The photographer paid her, then the photographer sold the images to iStock or something.

Anyway, her face started turning up everyone, including corporate ads.

She thought it was pretty cool... So she made her own blog and documented where her face was turning up.

Unfortunately, she hot-linked the images from iStock or wherever, and they sent their standard image copyright theft letter to her, for using her images on her site, because she did not pay the licensing fee on it.

LOL

She got out of that hot water, but her blog continues on, as her fans help her document the companies that are using her image.

Thanks

Be sure to read your images license carefully as even some of them that allow use for that purpose make you post a disclaimer that is something like "The photo used on this site is a model."
