Key words are often overlook by artists when blogging we are so into talking about are art we often forget about how important marketing is. I have artist friends who blog and say, It seems that no one stops by to read it. Their blogs are filled with great artwork but if no one sees it they become discourage with their blog. At the bottom of this post is a helpful video by Scott Fox who's blog I follow and books I've read that give you and me a little help in blog land.
Worth quoting--one of Arthur C. Clarke's lesser known three laws: "When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is probably wrong."
Scott Fox is someone who has so much knowledge on Internet marketing and a great blog.He is a must follow with tons of free advise. A must read is his book Internet Riches which gives hand on advise on websites and blogs.

Web Sites for artist
Here are some common elements which most dealers and galleries would agree on for your website design:
1. Keep the site simple and elegant with the focus on the art itself
2. Don't overpower the art with a site that looks too busy
3. Avoid advertising such as banner adds or sidebar adds. If you must have them, put them in a separate resource section of your website.
4. Avoid complex effects like flash movies. In the time it takes to play your exotic entry page, your visitor may have moved on.
5. Include your bio, artist statement, resume, contact information, gallery of your work, contact information, and a price list.
6. A list of Galleries where you work can be seen and note beside you painting if it in a gallery with a link to the galleries web site.
Here are few easy to use web site if you do not currently have one and want to design your own:
Fine Art America
Artid
Artspan
FatCow
