Finding Free Images with Flickr

December 13, 2006 | In photography | No Comments

Flickr Trick: Finding Free-to-Use Images details the steps to take to find Creative Commons licensed photos.

To find these photos on Flickr, go to Flickr’s advanced search page and enter your search criteria. Scroll down to the bottom of the search page and check the box that says “Only search within Creative Commons-licensed photos.” If your site is monetized by ads (even just Google Adsense), subscription access (even just for archives), or other means, then you probably want to play it ultra-safe and also check the “Find content to use commercially” box as well. Also, if you plan to crop, montage, or otherwise manipulate or remix found images, check the “Find content to modify, adapt, or build upon” box.

Top Ten Ways To Contact Google

December 7, 2006 | In search engines | No Comments

Barry Schwartz lists a few tonque-in-cheek suggestions as well.

  1. Go to Google Webmaster Help at Google Groups and call out Adam Lasnik’s name
  2. Sign up at Webmaster Central and use the forms there to contact Google (they will trust you more)
  3. Come to a search conference and speak to a search rep, often it is better to talk to a less well known search rep, they are more likely to be frank with you and they may have less on their plate
  4. Post a question at WebmasterWorld or Search Engine Watch Forums or sometimes DigitalPoint Forums
  5. Become friends with someone who is already in contact with search reps
  6. Try emailing Google (but that may get you no where)
