What are the most important sites for you to have your work on?

I would say it's important to have your work on any site that has good search engine ranking so if someone googles your name or the type of art you do, your name will come up near the top. Also if you have some sort of niche, then find out what the big sites are that cater to that niche.
For me personally I find the sites that have most helped me include my own site, my facebook fan page (I've sold pieces through networking with people on there, as well as it's a good tool for promoting about upcoming shows and other news), and redbubble (I recently got an international licensing deal through a rep seeing my portfolio on that site; as well as gotten several art gallery shows through networking there),
I know there are other important sites to have your work on, so I am interested in hearing what others have to say. I've done flickr, deviantart, illustrationmundo etc etc but I am not sure what is the best answer. I am interested in hearing what others have to say on this topic.

Being on Beh@nce couldn't hurt. A key is just being sure your online presences are coordinated, working together, and they aren't a replacement for leg work. I've stumbled into just as much work through conversation and meeting in-person as I have with portfolio sites. Good luck!
