But, in the mean time, it's fairly fun to play with and brings up some decent images. I will warn that not every photo is work-safe, even for queries you might not expect it.

The most liberal just requires a "Photo by XYX" attribution. Maybe I'll turn this into a plugin for Wordpress similar to the Amazon one.

Pierre - simply go to the product link area and click "Show" and you'll be given an option to change the format/display of your ad. If you're in WordPress there is also a great WP plugin that can help out. Thanks all!
