Figuring out how to get your art in front of a potential buyer can be challenging.  The truth is that there isn’t an easy, quick way to do it.  It takes patience, persistence and dedication.

Traditionally, picking keywords to optimize your website for search engines was one method for driving traffic to your website and getting your art in front of art collectors.  In recent months, however, this has become more difficult due to some changes that Google has made.

I recently refreshed keywords for my fine art photography website and want to share a few helpful resources on what’s changed recently and how to use keywords to create your artistic presence.
