First, I will tell you why do you need images for your blog. As you know, no one likes the plain text.

Convinced to use free image for blog

So, now if you have decided to use the free images for your blog, the next question is from where can we find these images? Most of the people will say, simply search for google images and you will find a lot of free images for blog. But one question from my side, if you have used image at your blog that is not freely available to everyone (means we need to pay for that image to get the copyright) and the owner can claim that you are using that image without owner’s permission then what will happen. Your post can be banned from search and that will affect the ranking if your blog.
