It looks as if you are doing a keyword search of the entirety of smugmug, rather than just your site...

Actually the search was on google - I searched for picassomax.com and this is one of the URL's that I came up.

Sure it's normal.

Google search is based on lots of secret sauce, but some of it is the relevance of the pages.. and your keyword has LOTS of relevance on the smugmug global keyword page. Less so, on your picassomax domain.

See my pro tips (linked in my signature) for some great search findability tips....

Thanks Andy...Got it. If someone buys a photo from the generic gallery - I'm sure the settings (cost, order delay, etc.) on that photo goes to the owner - right?
