INTERNET MARKETING
Building a web site is the single
best first step you can take in marketing yourself as an artist.
Think of a gallery that anyone on the Internet has access to -
24 hours a day 7 days a week. Your market is no longer just Toronto,
Victoria, Montreal or St. Johns. Your art is on display everywhere
- any time of day.
Artzpimp’s hosting system
offers free tools and a basic library of tips and FAQ's to help
you learn more about internet marketing. But many artists would
rather concentrate on their art.
Search
Engine Optimization Consulting
Artzpimp
can help you get your name on the first page. We offer
search engine optimization consulting services. Search engines
rate your web site's importance in a multitude of ways. A small
investment can drive more visitors to your web site. To find

To see the results of a properly
executed SEO program go to www.google.com
and type the words Toronto Artist Frances into the search box
and click Search. On the first page of the listings you will see
the site of Frances Ferdinands - an Artzpimp client. Of course
if you know her full name the ranking will be in the top 3 listings.
But this shows the power of an effective Search Engine Optimization
effort.
Basic
package of services
- Submit you site to search engines
- Submit your site to over 20 search engines
including Google and Yahoo
- Meta tagging
- Selecting keywords and matching descriptions
- Proper alternative text tagging of graphics
Alternative text tagging allows
search engines to actually index individual paintings in their
databases. While Artzpimp artists are only interested in an online
gallery to display their
work if you are really serious about
maximizing your return you should invest in this option.
