This is very important for me. Cause as a reader, I want to visualize what I'm reading.

Yes inserting images are really beneficial for blogs.

ofcourse if there is an image then there must be tag on it. Maximize its use.

Pinging must be on this list. IT also helps in increasing blog readers.

I like a good designed and full of interesting images blog.

Yeah that's why we need to give a credit link to the websites where we get the pictures we used.

Just putting a credit link won't suffice.
You should also ask for permission from the source.

Increments in readers of your blog depends upon what you are offering in your blog to attract them.

But some contact persons takes time to reply or sometimes do not reply about your inquiry. What will you do then?

You wait and not use the images as long as you do not have permission. Taking them too long to reply does not give you permission to steal their copyrighted property.

If they do not reply, that's about that. You still do not have permission.

No. And also note that just bcause someone else has stolen a copyright pic that doesn't mean you can as well - the copyright holder can still demand removal. Failure to comply or excessive use of copyrighted material often leads to a complaint to your hosting company - send them a legal letter and they'll usually just pul your site.

There are plenty of sources of free pics (including your own camera and graphic skills). Some will have licences or attribution requirements - use such sites and obey their rules - your blog or site will actually look more professional if you do.

Well Said Paul,

There are plenty of images available for free and which can be re-used. Image attract the visitors and also help in to improve traffic.
