Update on new art listings...part one

Well, it's been tons of work & I'm about half way there. I don't see much of an improvement in hits to my website, or sales on eBay, yet. My auction pages do load fast & look very clean, so that's good.

But I'm not convinced it will make a big difference yet. Maybe after search engines index a few times they will pick up more images. A Google or Yahoo search of images, using the keywords - modern original abstract art- is starting to look pretty good. Especially on Yahoo, where my Flicker images dominate. But, I want images from my website & from my auction listings to show up more.

So, time will tell. It's kind of hard to judge right now because sales seem down everywhere. You would think that my stuff would sell rather steady with the average cost under 30 bucks each. But such is the nature of selling original art. It's not a product most people actively search out.

I have a bunch of new stuff listed. I'll post pics in my next blog.
