This article discusses how the use of stock photos might effect your search rankings. Most bloggers and site owner probably don't give enough thought to picture quality and uniqueness. Soon you may not be able to afford to ignore this.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

John, seems like "much ado about nothing" but your points are well taken. It is something to be aware of and I guess we should think about using our own pictures. Finally, do you see a legal blog like a math site where pictures are not expected?

Jon Rhodes: I think it is interesting to see how Google is trying to promote the unique stuff, instead of common stuff from the stock. I like to illustrate my blog posts with images from my Flickr album or finding photos via Compfight and then embedding the code with ImageCodr with proper credits to the photographer.
