Pictures vs Google TOS

I was wondering...

I want to put pictures on my website, but obviously I don't want to commit any violation of Google's policy for Adsense purposes.

What sites can I go to that have pictures that are free to use? Thanks.

    You can put any pictures that do not go against
    adsense TOS. Included in adsense TOS, which
    many, many people "forget" or just don't know
    about, is to follow google's very own webmaster
    guidelines.

    So, any picture that is copyrighted must be used
    lawfully. There are legal ways to use copyrighted
    photos, pictures, and images, just do a simple
    search on how.

    You cannot align images in such a way that they
    may be confused with being part of the adsense
    ads.

    I use the best free image site on the net.
    stock.xchng - the leading free stock photography site
    (.hu btw, which puts the dot com myth in a coffin)
    Just click the tab that says advanced search,
    and pick restricted ok as "no."

    I myself have actually bought images from the as well.

    Be sure and read the standard restrictions, even on
    free images. Sometimes, with people images, they
    have a little more restriction. But most are just free
    to use anywhere, so long as you are doing nothing
    illegal or reselling them.

    If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    You can search for royalty free images to use in your website. Another way is to resize and editing the image then use in your site. change the title and image name and also the anchor text.
