Google Image Search - Disappointing results

Tonight I did a search for images from the FMY Photos Website. And I found none. Seems that smugmug doesn't index them in a way that they can be found by doing a google search. To say I'm upset would be an understatement. All the photos on the website are keyworded for people to find them easily, and that took a lot of time to do, only to find out that none of the images are really showing up in the google image search.

So right now I'm kind of torn on what to do with the images. I have a lot of places linking to FMY Photos, if I take the photos off of the smugmug site, alot of places lose the links. On the other hand, I want people to be able to find the photos in an image search. Only the photos that I use on the blog and the articles that I write about these places are showing up. I'm so upset about this, and actually- I'm quite pissed off about this.

So tomorrow I will have to figure out a solution. I do own the domain name of FMYPhotos.com so that will stay the same, but my web building skills isn't that good, but I may have to forgo a prettier website in order to be found by google. I could build my own site, it just will be plain but still will show the photos. If I take the photos off of smugmug, I won't be able to sell them as easy as I do now. It's always something.

Tomorrow It's back to the drawing board.
