Here's a little more of what Plinkme has to offer:

Display Photos on Your Site for Added Interest & Spark

Want to bring more sparkle and life to your articles or pages? Photos draw attention - and hold it. They can even make your article or information easier to understand and remember. With Plinkme, you can easily find stylish and attractive images in dozens of categories, appropriate for any topic. And you can have them for free, with just a few clicks of the mouse. Plinkme's innovative new approach makes it easy to jazz up your pages with professional-quality photography.

Simply Copy & Paste the Code for Images in Minutes

Are you still adding images to your sites the old, outdated way? For most people, it goes a little bit like this: First, you have to download the image. Then, you have to crop and resize. Then, you have to upload the image to your server. Then - finally! - you can code the picture into your pages. It's complicated and tedious, with way too many steps. Sound familiar?

Thankfully, there's now a new way… and it's a better way! Simply go to Plinkme.com. Find your photo. Copy & paste the code into your site. And you're done.

Photos Hosted on Plinkme's Servers Save You Money

For publishers with extensive content, bandwidth usage and server space is an active concern. Maybe you've been considering adding more images to your site… but you're hesitant about the extra load on your server. Since all Plinkme photos are hosted on our secure, reliable servers, Plinkme photos won't require any space on your server, or use of your bandwidth. Save time, save space, save bandwidth, save money.

Innovative Method Generates Automatic Inbound Links for Publishers

When you choose a photo to display on your site, Plinkme automatically generates an inbound link to the page displaying the photo. Each picture displayed on Plinkme is accompanied by a list of links, so that visitors and photographers know exactly where on the web each photo is being enjoyed. For publishers, this brings increased link popularity and site traffic.

Tailor Your Display Options to Fit Your Site's Needs

Plinkme offers a variety of different options for displaying photos on your site or pages. You can choose to display a specific photo; a group of photos which are all tagged by a certain keyword; or a group of photos which are all in a certain category. If you choose to display a group of photos, the code you copy and paste from our site will automatically cycle the photos… a slideshow that refreshes every time your visitors reload the page. You get variety and freshness, all with one simple script.

Plinkme "Cluster Effect" Sends More Targeted Traffic Your Way

In the Plinkme community, photos act as hubs. How does it work? Every time a publisher posts an image to their site, Plinkme automatically generates a link to that site. So on each photo's page, there's a list of sites that are utilizing that photo.

Now, imagine Site A and Site B. What do they have in common? They both publish information about the same topic, and they both use the same photo from Plinkme. When a visitor sees a Plinkme photo on Site A, and clicks over to Plinkme.com, they will see a link to Site B. They can benefit from the information on both sites! Both Site A and Site B win, by indirectly referring traffic to each other. And the visitor wins, with more relevant resources at their fingertips.

Get Professional Quality Photography for FREE

Attention web publishers who operate in bulk: you (and your wallets!) are about to breathe a sigh of relief. Unlike most stock photography sites, which charge you to download images, Plinkme offers stock photography for free! Now you can insert images across dozens or hundreds of pages without going broke. We want you to use our photos. When it comes to good deals, you can't beat free.

Easy Searching So You Can Locate the Right Photo Fast

There are lots of ways to find images on Plinkme.com. You can use the search function, browse through tags, view each and every category, explore cross-linked photos, or browse by gallery or user. It's simple, easy, and intuitive. Not sure what to photos search for? Cross-linked photos and tag clouds provide new suggestions, to stimulate your creative juices and provide fresh ideas.

Publisher Sites Periodically Highlighted on Plinkme.com

We highlight publisher sites right on the front page, so visitors and members can learn more about the publishers taking advantage of the Plinkme service.

Creative Commons Licensed Photos for Easy Copyright Rules

You won't have to worry about complicated rules and regulations when it comes to copyright. We take care of all that for you. All photos on Plinkme are licensed under the appropriate Creative Commons license, so you can rest easy.

Offer Your Feedback on Photos and Help Improve the Plinkme Experience

You can rate photos and even leave comments, providing helpful feedback to photographers, and valuable guidance for other users. By sharing your thoughts and reactions, you can help improve the Plinkme experience for everyone. And you can count on others to do the same.

Flash Generated Photo Displays Guarantee a Consistent Experience

When you copy and paste the simple code into your pages, the chosen photo is displayed on your site via Flash. This offers a consistent experience, and a reliable way of generating appropriately formatted inbound links to your site. It keeps the service reliable and beneficial for everyone involved.

Automatic Photo Sizing for Convenience and Control

Forget cropping and resizing. Say goodbye to photo resolution and distortion problems. You won't even have to edit an image tag. Plinkme offers automatic photo sizing - you can choose each photo to be sized small, medium, or large. Plinkme delivers the correct code automatically! All you have to do is copy and paste… so you get added design control without any extra hassle. But for those of you who want a little extra control, you've got it too: just set the appropriate width and height values in the code snippet, and you can adjust your photo's size down to the pixel.
