I am a smugmug pro user and I have to say that I have been extremely pleased with the site. You can add search queries that show up on google and other search engines. I usually get about 200 hits a day on my pages and that's mostly from such searches. Smugmug does take alot off of images purchased, for example, if a 4*6 print costs 8.75, and you price it for 10, you only recieve 1.25 in payment even though someome paid 10 for it. You set your own pricing and the site gives you ways to print them yourself, so that's good. The customization is extremely easy and you don't have to know html or programming at all, it's all templates with plenty of parameters. Even extremely high quality images are uploaded quickly thanks to the sites use of html5. People can add comments to your images if you like, and the ui is also really easy for customers to buy your photos. It's a great site, and I highly recommend it. www.jeremiahweston.smugmug.com
