[...] as well as linkage to my blog, which as a result affected my SEO, as I demonstrated in “SEO for Artists Example”. Another idea was Jen Goode’s, who was first to introduce me to Zazzle, where I shortly after [...]

This is a great read Moshe! I admit I was having the same difficulty as you were, in trying to figure out how a comment I made somewhere on someone’s blog would eventually lead someone else to my site to make a purchase. Thank you for sharing your SEO success … let’s hope we all have some (and more) of the same.

Thanks so much for your post Moshe! You really described your findings well — and a lot of us were probably thinking SEO was over-rated — thanks for showing us it’s not! Every little bit helps!

thank you everyone for the comments. I am happy it is helpful.

Cory, I never actually measure the time I spend on SEO and its ROI. I basically make it a habit to incorporate everything I learned about it in my daily routine, whether if I write a new blog post, or comment on other blogs, etc. Its a learning process and it takes time to think around this way. But knowing the rules and tips do help.

Some of the information regarding sale I don’t have access to… for example, my art is licensed to another company to sell and produce, and I do include it in my SEO efforts to a great extent, but other than the royalty I get every quarter, I don’t have the specific information, such as how someone found me and decided to buy my artwork. Nevertheless, since I have started in September, I do see an increase in sales.

Well done Moshe. I’d be curious to know how much time you’ve spent on SEO specific activities and how many sales you’ve brought in off of it.

This is exactly what I’ve been hoping to help artists understand. SEO done right = sales. SEO done wrong = a useless waste of time.

I’ve started implementing SEO strategies and have had my doubts about it’s applicability to artists also. Have been wavering about whether to bother or not. Thanks for the example.
