This Week: 8/19 through 8/25

Published Aug. 18th 2007

Monday - Here’s a question for those of you with art or painting blogs: Are you happy with the amount of visitors you’re getting? On Monday I’ll publish my first article on Search Engine Optimization for artists with a few specific techniques that you can use to get more traffic from Google—you won’t want to miss it.

Tuesday - Tuesday I’ll be writing about Art Deco, one of my favorite art movements in history. There’s some great artwork from this period which I’m sure you’ll enjoy.

Wednesday - Australian based RedBubble.com has been an advertiser on EE for a few months now, but since they went global at the end of July I think it’s time for an in-depth review. Get the full scoop here on Wednesday.

Thursday - Another EmptyEasel reader will have their artwork featured this Thursday. Check back to find out who, and feel free to send in your own artwork if you’d like to be reviewed as well.

Friday - Make sure to drop in on Friday for a great plein air painting demonstration by Jennifer Young! Remember, if you’d like to reach a wider audience of artists with your art tips, tutorials, or opinion, you can submit an article here. If it’s published on EE you’ll get full credit and two links to your website or blog.

PLUS, I’ve added another page to the EE Art Market which I’ll be updating every month! See where each of the leading art-selling websites rank according to how much traffic they get each month. Some of them may surprise you. . .
