Photo Use Guidelines for Big Sky Fishing.gif)
Big Sky Fishing.com
has more than 700 picutres online. Best of all, you are welcome
to use these pictures for your own non-commercial web
site provided the following guidelines are met:
- When using any
picture or photograph from Big Sky Fishing.Com, a link back
to our web site MUST be placed next to/below the
photo. An example of this would be :
Photo courtesy of Big
Sky Fishing.Com
The code for the hyperlink is as follows:
<a href="http://www.bigskyfishing.com">Big
Sky Fishing.Com</a>
Please note that you must use an actual hyperlink
to our web site. You may not "cloak" or "redirect"
the hyperlink in anyway. If you have questions about this,
please
contact us and we'll be happy to explain.
- Images MAY
NOT be "hot linked" from our web site. Hot
linking involves copying the url of the image and then inserting
it into your own web site. What happens then is that when
your web page loads, the picture you are using is then called
from OUR server, not yours. This is a significant drain
on our server and will not be tolerated (it also greatly
slows the loading of the image on your web site). Our web
logs will clearly show when any image is being hot
linked to. If we find a image that is being hot linked,
we will either change the path of the image (resulting in
a broken link on your web page) or substitute a photo that
you probably do not want on your web site!
See the next step to learn how to properly copy a photo
for your own site use.
- To properly
copy an image, do the following. Right click over the image
and "save as", saving the photo to your local
computer. Name it what you like and insert it into your
web page. That's it.
- Once you have
posted the image, please
let us know about it. In the email, please let us know
the url (location) of where the image is being posted.
This
is for our own informational purposes and to verify that
images are being used correctly.
- Also note, our
pictures may never be used on any sort of adult site, period.
By following these
guidelines, your are welcome to use our images on your non-commercial
web site. Please note that failing to follow these guidelines
will result, upon discovery of using our images without authorization,
notice being sent to the primary search engines of copyright
infringement, which may result in your web site being banned
from the search engines (as I have the original, full size
images, this is very easy to prove). A cease and desist email
will also be sent to the owner of the sites domain name as
determined by WHOIS information.
If you have
a commercial site or want to use our pictures for a commercial
purpose, don't just copy the image, hoping we won't find
out. We will! Tracking down our images on the web is fairly
simple due to the unique nature of our photographs. Using
our images without permission is also illegal and may result
in getting your web site banned by the major search engines
due to copyright infringement. When we discover an illegal
use of our images, we notify all major search engines about
copyright infringement (which is easy to prove since we have
the original images), which may result in your site being
dropped from Google and Yahoo. We will also send a cease and
desist order to the owner of the domain name as determined
by WHOIS information.
If you would like
to use one of our pictures on your commerical site or
for
a commercial purpose, simply contact
us. Most likely, we
will let you use an image for free, following the guidelines
above
(depending
on what you want
to use the
image for, of course). In your email, just let us know what
you want to use the image for and where you will be using
it.
Thank you for following
these guide lines regarding using the quality pictures found
at bigskyfishing.com.
