I’ve just been introduced to a service called tineye.com which could be a great link development tool for anyone who uses original graphics, charts and artwork on their websites. Basically Tineye.com operates similarly to copyscape only for images.
You upload your sourcer image and Tineye.com scans its database of sites revealing 3rd party sites that are using your image.
Then all you have to do is contact the webmaster to ‘negotiate’ your citation/credit which you rightly deserve.
The system is pretty intelligent catering for scaled, rotated and flipped images which is really neat (OMG did i just type ‘neat’… right thats it no more American TV for me).
njoy!
