    Default Need help marketing an art related website

    Anybody have art related sites? Where do you market them?

    Why:

    I looked at my statistics and I was really amazed at what I found. Since I started the blog I had 774 page views (not all that impressive). Out of the 774 page views I sold 18 prints ($270). And had an Ad Sense CTR or 3.89%. ($5.04 total earnings). That's a gross earning of $275.04 from 774 page views. Which is like an average of $0.35 earnings per page view. That is a lot better conversion rate than any site that I marketed on purpose. I figured I might sell something to maybe 1 out of 1000 visitors so something like 20,000 people had seen the site but no only 774 page views. That's a pretty promising conversion rate. Hypothetically if I could get 3 million page views per year to a given art site I could actually make a living selling prints or just making some money off of PPC advertisements.

    Any help would be pretty awesome cuz I'm going broke.

    I get like respectable hits a day on my site and my first thought was sell ad space like the big boys do too. I am not sure how you get 3million hits a year for an art print site.

    not to burst a bubble but i agree with carlos, there is a way huge difference of 774 and 3 million. you would need to have fresh content on the site everyday and would need to be pushing it on social networking sites religiously. also, you aren't doing a great job so far when you don't even provide us with a link
