When i first started my blog, all the image that i post in my blog , is self host on the same hosting server, it does use up partial of your host bandwidth but at the same time, it bring you some visitors also.  After some time , i decided to use some hosted service for my blog post image and i subscribed Flickr

My reason getting hosted service is because

• reduce my bandwidth usage
• through flickr service might be able to bring in more traffic
• no need to worry about hotlink
• flexible, i can just make use the same image on different platform

Since i become flickr pro, half of my image is still self host ( no time to migrate ) and the other half is hosted by flickr. After one year, it’s almost time to renew my flickr service and i m trying to measure is there a need to renew ? just for this blog post purpose ? Google still bring in visitor for my self host image, but i not sure is flickr bring in extra traffic ?

some site that i found for reference

• How to get traffic from image search engine ?
  
• Image hosting, what is the best option ?

Share with me which method are you using and why ?
