Welcome to dgrin....

You have the hard part figured out already "keywords", thats best way to help get your images found.

A good galllery description is another way to help with the search sites, they look in there. Be as descriptive as you can about the gallery images.

For SmugMug searches, I've found adding gallery keywords works great too. To add gallery keywords, go to the [gallery tools] menu, select 'customize gallery', under 'extras' add as needed. More info here: http://www.smugmug.com/help/picture-storage Look under 'extras'.

We have a nice post in our Wiki on this subject: http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/Maximize+Search+Engine+Findability

Any questions, yell.

Stock pictures? Well, Baldy is still looking at that feature: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=61023
