Traffic to these image hosting websites has skyrocketed due to the massive rise in blogging activity in the recent months. I personally prefer Google Image Hosting accessible via the Blogger interface or Picasa’s Hello software. Hello provides the ability for Blogger.com (also owned by Google) authors to post thumbnail images int heir blog posts that, when clicked, show a full size image.
All free image hosting services have a very similar business model. They cover the cost of running the business by placing text advertisement links or banners on their websites. You can also start your own image hosting website by buying lot of webspace, a google adsense account and a free image hosting script.
Direct Linking is a term referring to when a web page of one website owner is linking directly to the images or other multimedia files on the web host of another website owner (not just linking to a web page on their server which loads the image). If this is done without permission, it is stealing bandwidth and is also known as "hotlinking", "hot linking", "leeching", and "bandwidth theft".
