Why One Source For Internet Marketing And Sales Is Not Enough Chapter Two

It’s totally gone. I forced it to look for just mike ____ fineart_ - and it’s not there at all. And how interesting -- NOTHING of fine art _____ is in bing at all. The first thing that comes up is the rip off report --- that isn't good.

i just mailed tech support about that one. Seems bing dropped all the sites all at once. looking back i don't have hits from that site. on the plus side, most use google.

And because it’s not in bing – it’s not in dogpile.com either (yeah people still use this site)
or yahoo

If we are supposed to market our art outside of ___ and ____ how can people search for art say via our AW on the basis that neither profile pages or websites are showing up say on google,Bing and Yahoo

Well, I guess I made the right decision nearly 3 years back not to even concern myself with search... Still growing sales at a steady rate... never paid any attention to ___ or Google search. Just do what I do and it seems to be working.

Interesting I did a search for Photo Captures by Jeffery on Google and if I am remembering correctly at one time my listing on ___ did come up but appears it no longer is in the search results. What doe’s come up is my main site and my social media profiles and listings.

I just tried a search and ___ is off the list. Nothing comes up. Strange that all my other sites are still listed. What happened? Hmmmm,

See that when I google my name FAA comes up 2nd. I hope it stays there! Not seeing that on Bing or Yahoo

Marketing via other means: advertising, face-face contact, exhibits and so forth is essential to selling. However, it is a problem as far as selling copies of one's work or having business cards including a web address. Based on comments it looks like I need to have new cards printed, and change my marketing strategy.

Same here. "Rich Franco" comes out on top with a Google search, but only Fine Art ____. I have a domain name that points to the "Artist's" web site, RichFrancoCars.com, but only goes to ___, not my artist's site! If I type in www.richfrancocars.com, it does go to the Artist's site!
Google comes up with FAA without an issue, doesn't know from the artist site. Bing, yahoo, dog pile - they don't know they don't have any version of this site at all. It goes to other sites, mentions, facebook, the fraud report is number one - that's never good. for your cards, you should always use an url anyway. Then you can redirect it any place you want.

seeing that google doesn't like clones #lol i am going to try seeing if i can link or blend my AW which any uses a custom domain in with my main art/photography website
i made 3 sales this year and one of those was through my AW

For the benefit of non-tech members what is the difference between a URL and web address?
It is the same thing. Web address = URL = link

URLs and web addresses are two separate entities a URL is often used when wanting to access a particular document or site whilst a Web Address is more like a memorable street address,as it can help people to find you online.

My AW comes up number 5 in a Bing search. Number four on Yahoo. Number 1, 3 and 5 on dogpile. But I don't see the "__ART___" name at all. Just my AW. But that is what I want anyway.

Something is up for sure.
