Back in days of interweb-yesterday the likes of Getty used to charge for web use with a structure similar to how they would cost for usage in print.
- What page(s) of the website will the image appear on? (Homepage would be most expensive. More than one usage would ramp up the cost too)
- What size will the image be on the page? (The larger the more expensive)
- How many visitors will that page receive? (The more visitors the more expensive)
- How long would you like to licence the image for? (The longer you wanted the image for the more expensive and you had to renew the license every 1/3/5 years if you wanted to keep the image on your site)You could be up into the thousands for usage of one photo easily.
It's no wonder the likes of istockphoto and the likes did so well when they launched with a much more up to date pricing model and system.
