I just posted an excerpt from a photo credit page that made me realize that Google is the future. If photographers can properly keyword their images, they can apparently make significant income solely through Google. The amateurs who can’t keyword their sunsets correctly will be left out.

The page on my soon to be announced blog is:

Lise is close to selling 400,000 downloads in 3 years.

But that topics been out there for a few years now with no visible progress or commitment to the idea. Very well a possibility though. Yahoo's COO talked about monetizing Flickr in the last Yahoo earnings confernce call. Much better Dalton, and it certainly could happen.

I mean, they already own one of the biggest social network/photo sites in the world with Flickr, as well as with Del.icio.us. They must be thinking about monetizing Flickr at some point - and I don't think pro subscriptions are going to cut it. It seems that they would be in better position to do this than Google.
