...search for images. Legal? Google does it!? So basically, all I am doing is cataloging images that appear on other site so it is easier for people to find images that they are looking for, without having to search 10 different sites. I am going to include the creator, and when the person clicks on the image, it goes directly back to the creator's site, and to that specific image landing page (not just the image itself) It won't technically be a deep link, because I am not taking them to the image itself, but the page right before the image (the one that has all the ads and stuff) On my site I am going to sell advertsiments, but for a user to use the site and click on stuff it is FREE. So the question I have is, should that be problem? I dont think it is since the person will know exactly who created the image and it will take them back to the user's page. Basically, google is doing it now, where you search on a term and images come up that they are actually pulling from the host site..it's free to use, but they sell ads.
