A friend of mine has an account and says it was a huge mistake.

For a site like this, you need to actively market it via a main website or blog, or both. It is more geared for event shooters, fine artists, niche wildlife shooters, etc. Would be suited to someone actively marketing print sales. If you're looking for traffic to happen by and purchase pics, it likely is not going to happen.

thx storm. you pay about the same with a high traffic domain, so i was wondering if this is a better place . i wish more ppl will let me know. obviously no one else knows about them. not a good sign.

I have website for selling picture with ifp3 http://www.energypicturesonline.com/
They are quite reactive to questions and helpful team. They have been improving the tool with quite a lot of new features, however the main disadvantages I have with them is
1) It is programmed with flash, I dont like it and it is making it longer for user to use the site
2) There is no direct download possibility
If those points are not a problem for you is is a nice reasonable solution to show your pictures if you are not absolutely willing to sell them......
I'm also experimenting with anoter software here:
http://www.rudersdalfoto.dk/
This is much more sale oriented and I can warmly recommend it if you want to sell pictures online.

Again, it all depends on what your goals are. This service is not suited for stock sales if that is what you are looking for. As far as a "high traffic domain", when building a site with any domain, it's all in the effort you put into it. Buying into something regarded as "high traffic" does not ensure success. It's all in the site optimization, adding a blog with current and relevant content, and third party tie-ins for marketing.
