    Dan Heller's in my Google Reader; I've enjoyed a lot of his recent writing about where stock photography is going. I, too, think it will be interesting to see how pricing works out once the smugmug stock engine has been running for awhile.

    I wonder if it would help or hurt pros for smugmug to provide them sales stats for all (or some, or just a related subset) of smugmug's digital download sales, something like "90% of stock sales fall in the range of $50-80" or "photos as popular as yours often sell for $50-80". I could see arguments for and against this (disregarding whether smugmug would even want to open up that sensitive info). Some rough guidance would be nice...the 90th percentile range would help and hopefully not reveal too much proprietary data.
