That depends on your goals. Connecting with other researchers seems to be one, since you mentioned the Google search. But with whom do you want to share? Are you concerned about privacy/security? If the latter is a concern, something established (and free) like Ancestry.com may be what you're looking for.
Family Tree Maker doesn't create websites like other programs. It is designed to interface with Ancestry.com. Otherwise, you must use some third party to display its data via GEDCOM.
