I found this website http://www.imageblowout.com which gives out free photos for personal as well as commercial use. No credit is needed so we need to provide no backlinks. Most of their images seems to be quite good. 1280x960 size with some images having 300 px/inch resolution. This seems to be a good resource for us webmasters. If you need images do check this website.

dixvix: Normally I would delete this type of first post, however, after investigating the site, it does seem to be genuine. I would caution all users, though, to read the licensing stipulations.

The image resolutions may be nice, but there doesn't seem to be that many pictures there...unless I'm just overlooking something ;)

I found this website almost a week ago when I had some downtime to kill. I check it occasionally and the recent updates section does seem to change every 3-4 days. Probably, they will add more images, I guess.

I realized the need for images when I was trying to put my own website. I was able to find few websites which gives the flexibilty of using images for free for commercial purposes upfront.

Speed of the website seems to be decent as well.

yes they are the best resource for stock images. Just make sure you check the image rights underneath the image, not all have no restrictions.
