    have you tried offline marketing? in some niches where you sell high-priced items, you need credentials to back you up..

    Hi there, I think you need to spend time to build backlinks for your website. It's how the search engines will found your website.

    Just make sure that you're using legitimate and proven methods to avoid your sites from bad neighborhood so that you will not end up hurting yourself.

    Building your backlinks with article marketing will help. As will a press release

    I was just wondering, what kind of articles would market an art website. I mean, it doesn't seem to me that articles on art would work. People who care about art would not purchase some else's art, would they?

    I was thinking maybe decorating, but I'm not sure.
