Malcolm Park Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I noticed several of my images this morning appearing on a site called frompo, images from various libraries (including Alamy), some with and some without watermarks. Does anyone have any info on frompo other than what I can pickup from an online search? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiskerke Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It's some sort of search engine. Interesting results. There seems to be a reverse image and/or video search as well, but I cannot find it. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Looks like a 'Scraper' site.Many of those are popping up and apparently so far it's legal. :-( L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoM1ke Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I do wonder what their revenue model is... showing ANOTHER index of pictures does not seem to be overly attractive. While they stay high on the Google listings maybe there's a case for generating traffic but Google are pretty good at pushing these further down quite quickly.
