They would like me to pay £108 to use one image for one web-site, and then I have to remove the picture after 3 months.

Isn't this expensive?

Go to the players personal sites & look for "media kit" ot something similar.
They should have some available. If not email'em, they should provide one for you.

cheers

LOL

There is no cheap, legal way to get good pics of anything of real value.

My father was a professional photogragher for all of his life, starting out in the late fifties. Photograghy use to be an art form, a skilled trade that could earn you a descent living.

Today's digital cameras, cell phone cameras and internet theft have made it almost impossible for him and other artists to make a buck. Any yahoo can reproduce a cheap copy.

This world is getting grayer all the time. What's wrong and what right?

Profiting from someone elses work without their permission is just plain wrong.

And make no mistake about it, photograghy and writing content is time consuming and expensive WORK for the person who produced it.

They deserve to get payed for their hard work and if you don't like the price, don't buy it and for god's sake don't steal it.

Most web surfers aren't looking for fancy pics of poker pro's anyways. They're looking for unique and interesting information about that player that they can't find anywhere else.

If you supply that totally unique info on your website you'll have happy customers. The search engines will send you more happy customers because of your great keyword rich, unique content.

Your website visitors will sign up to the poker rooms you recommend because you've helped them out and they trust your opinions.

You have to shmoose your visitors a little, flashing banner adds and even great site reviews with text links just wont cut it.

Write some great articles about those poker pro's you were trying find pictures for.

Only words will make you money, not graghics.

Great post, Dave. I totally agree with you, and I'm really happy that I decided to go the "content route" in terms of building up BeatTheFish. I've been able to see some decent Google traffic so far because of the amount of content I put up on each page. It does take a lot of time to write, but I enjoy it so it was an easy way to get better rankings. Long live original content... I've got a new project coming in the next few weeks, I'll let you guys know.

Oops, wasn't this thread about poker players' pictures? h34r:
