Generally exrx.net exercise animations are really solid. I do have some issues with the posted one, though...
First of all, that's not a stiff-legged deadlift, it's a "straight-legged" one. In the official stiff-legged deadlifts, your legs do bend slightly. In the posted one, in order to get a full ROM, the guy has to round his back at the bottom. Is it just me, or is that a big no-no? Here's the stiff-legged version...

The guy only bend his legs enough so that he can complete the movement without rounding his back. To me, that just feels safer. Also, RDLs are good, and what everyone else said.
