On using Images for my creatives (4)
Hello guys , Newbie question here ..
Just a wondering , creating banners using other people's Images found on Google?
Is it save to do that ? What are the odds of getting sued ?..
I am based in Asia but running US traffic by the way.
"There are dozens of ways to gather images based on the niche you're in. Of course, the simplest way is to search on Google Images or simply copy images from the spy tool. You should be aware of the copyright risks involved if you do this - see this thread for an accurate discussion of the risks involved.
TIP:One thing to watch out for: using images of celebrities is much more likely to get you in trouble. Use Google Image Search to check that your images aren't of famous people!
If you want to be clean on copyright, there are still plenty of options.
You can search on Google for "Creative Commons" or "Public Domain" images. (Creative Commons images need to be licensed for commercial use and alteration - check this when you download.).
You can also sign up to a stock images site like Dreamstime. That will cost a couple of hundred dollars a month, but gives you access to thousands of high-quality images for both your ads and your landers.
TIP: It's a myth that stock photographs can't work for dating sites. You have to choose natural-looking images, rather than super-posed fake stuff, but I've made a lot of dating affiliate money with stock photography.
Choose your method, and go out and hunt images!
Find images that look like the ones that other affiliates had been using - at least 20 of them. Then, look over those images you've gathered, and pick the 10 most different-looking ones - different age models, different shots, different colours dominating the image.

Hello,qkimhock.You can try to ask your networks to provide your banners,and you can make banners in reference to your provided banners
