Much of my stuff never sees the web - what does tends to go on my own site.
I do try to credit when I can - normally I forget or get it wrong.
As for useage by other artists, out of 20+ products and 9 pages of freebies - just 2-3 freebies (vorg series) have got the most credited images.
I get more thank you emails and IM's and thats much better because you can talk with the artists then .
Credits, like product reviews, can be also contenious.
One site I know gets uppity if you credit stuff from artists who don't sell there. Plus some folks get upset if you don't use the exact name for something.
Once or twice I've been told I must credit something or leave a product review as well.
If it's a nice polite request I don't mind.
