not caught from search engines

Hi all,
I am a professional photographer that I would like to do some free shots but at the same time I do not want to advertize the free shots with my main web site and email visible.

I was thinking to share my portofolio gallery with the hide owner option turned on (Can I get the hide owner type of link while this gallery is used as my portofolio at my web page?)

I was also thinking that another technique would be to share my real web page but using tinyurl.com so to transform the link.

Can you please confirm that the above are correct?

Regards
Alex

If the gallery is set to hide owner then it will always show with a smugmug URL and all of your customizations will be removed. I don't think this is a good way to show your portfolio.

The help page Can I hide the account owner information for a gallery? describes the changes you will see if you set a gallery to hide owner = yes.

A tinyurl starts tiny but when the viewer lands on your site the full URL is shown. It is a method for providing a short link as opposed to a method for hiding your URL.

On a gallery-by-gallery level you can set your photos to be SmugMug searchable or Web Searchable. Toggling those settings should show or hide you from search engines.
