When you google your name, does your blog come up and if so on what page? That is the best way to determine how many hits your blog is getting.

Many of the free counters that are being used are inaccurate, and not the best way to judge how popular your blog is.

One way to get more viewers to your blog is through your website. Do you have a link to your blog on your site? Is your site heavily viewed? It all works hand in hand.

The best way to increase visitors to your site is to offer free information or free services.

Hits to you blog mean nothing if you are using your blog to sell art, and most viewers are jusy searching to fulfill the requirements for a blogging search engine. You need qualified hits. i.e. viewers who want to buy art. Better yet, viewers who want to by your art.

If you want to sell art from your blog, try to keep in mind what a blog is.....a chatty daily or weekly journal that lets the potential buyer get to know you as a person, to share your joy at completeing a great work of art, your frustration at trying to put an idea down on canvas, or paper. laugh with you etc... Be human in your blog!!!!
