When a site offers to give you credit for your work, it says that they appreciate you, they appreciate your talent and they appreciate your dedication to quality. This means nothing to some producers who are only it in for the money. But for some producers - it's very appreciated!

As an editor, I like to give photographers and other creative folks credit because (1) it is what I like when I am the contributor so I try to treat others as I would like to be treated and (2) as a consumer, I often look to see who shot something I really liked.
I hope you are correct, Dean, and people in general view sites better when they give credit.
I like to get paid, but I could do a lot of other things for money, if that were the only motivation.
