That, in turn boosts exposure for my cafepress store where I sell t-shirts, mugs, prints, mouse pads, etc... I don't update the social artwork sites much at all, but I update my website regularly. As far as I'm concerned they exist to get me more traffic. I personally use Deviantart and Elfwood to boost the traffic to my website.

There are several times where I've been looking over a potential artist hire's portfolio and the instant I see deviantart mentioned I just cringe. I've had several instances where I honestly couldn't find whatever work they supposedly wanted to show us, or found their really old work first and it was so bad I stopped looking.

(See my web link for evidence.) Here's something users of free and near-free sites should also remember: These places are not immortal. F'rinstance, among other places to host my music that have gone under are: mp3.com (first incarnation), ampcast.com, amp3.net, raw42.com .... As I often say, maintaining a web presence is like being a multi-legged critter crossing a fast-moving stream. You have to keep looking for new places to plant your weight, because anything you're standing on may wash away without warning. Sounds like you’ve latched on to my strategy!
