Flickr is one of the best online photosharing sites to get images & pictures of every kind.Believe me.Here you can know how to use images on your commercial blogs or websites from this website for free.Searching Flickr under "creative commons" is a good way to find images you can use for free as long as you abide by the creative commons rules, so read them also.Secondly,if you want to use images from the regular Flickr section,you should ask permission before using the pictures by click on the user's profile and sendin them an email asking for permission.
Follow the given instructions step by step for applying the first method i.e using images under creative Commons(CC).

2)All the photographers that appear are available for commercial use i.e couldbe used on your blogs/hubs/lens/websites.All you need to do is to give a link back to the photographer.
3)If you want to crop the image or want to bring some modifications in it,you could have been checked the third box also that says "Find content to modify, adapt, or build upon" besides checking the other two boxes.
4)You may change the results by clicking "Most relevant,Most recent or Most interesting" view bar on the top.
5)Finally,click on the photo you want to use,save it first in your computer,and to give a link back find the photographers profile page.You will get something like http://flickr.com/photos/username.So under the image you may add a line like: 1)source or 2)photo crdit;(and give the link to actual picture or the profile page)
