- vonklaus 11y agodave would you mind explaining that, I am pretty interested. How do you get linkbacks with an image, and is it effective/ethical?
- snowwrestler 11y agoSome other site posts your image, and includes a link back to the original page on your site as a sort of citation or attribution. I consider it ethical if there is no consideration involved--money, favors, etc. Interesting content should be able to travel around the Web if people actually find it interesting. The creator getting compensated with a little SEO bump is ok if they actually created something interesting. That said, HN has a policy (or tendency at least) to prefer the original source and I like that too.
