    What's the proper way to use free images and videos on your blog?

    I know about Google's reverse image search but sometimes people flip horizontally the image and Google can't find it... I will try the other two tools you have mentioned.

    What's the proper way to use free images and videos on your blog?

    And what about sites like Aliexpress where there are hundreds upon hundreds pages with the same product using the same images?

    What's the proper way to use free images and videos on your blog?

    How can I find the copyright owner, if there are so many frauds (like the one on Flickr)? And one more question. How did you find that your image was stolen and used by a magazine and a government department?

    I want to buy an existing domain name but....

    This is indeed the best way to check, if everything is ok with the desired domain. My personal opinion is that an older domain (like the one you want) can help your website rank faster in Google's SERP because of the domain authority that comes with an old domain.

    Has your writer ranked you first page on Google?

    Ranking an article or a blog post is not that difficult, if the competition is low. For more competitive keywords you should will probably have to pay a lot, if you want the best results as soon as possible.

    Does anyone add a title to each picture?

    Adding a title tag can only improve the performance of the website in Google's SERP (not only for image results). My personal experience shows that websites with unique images with unique file names, unique alt texts and relevant titles help in the fight for a place in Google's top pages.

    Creative ideas for an offline marketing campaign?

    Our marketing department is developing three concepts right now. The owner of the company will choose the one he likes the most in February. I can't tell what the concepts are because of the competitors who might see the post.

    SEO Dilemma...

    Well said! I think you are completely right and I should be more careful while building links to my website. It's just that nowadays with all algorithm updates and changes almost nothing is 100% certain. For instance, can you tell me for sure, whether or not a website needs a sitemap? Because...

    SEO Dilemma...

    Interesting approach, but I don't think it will be effective for our target audience. It might work with younger prospects though.
