you also lead people out of your site in your bio.

Without clicking on any of your specific images, I can tell you probably do not have many or any keywords to help people find you. You are probably not doing much -- if any -- marketing via social media or any other means. Your art is very good to my eye -- careful though, I'm a photographer -- so there is no reason why after two and a half years, you have just 221 views. It looks like you made the same mistake a lot of folks make -- they dump their images here and then expect folks to magically find them. You have to help people find you.

Think of FAA as not just a place to (hopefully) sell your art, but a social media site as well. A place to see and be seen. With that in mind, you have no events listed, have only posted one short blog, have not favorited anyone else's work, are not following anyone, have not written any press releases or administrated any contests. You have, in effect, gone to a party, but then went straight to a corner without speaking or saying hello to anyone.

A few specific suggestions --

-- Give your work titles. "Untitled 43" etc. is probably not working.
-- Put your name in as a keyword or tag. If friends or family know you by a nice name, put that in, too.
-- Take the links to other sites out of your bio and captions. Your prospective buyers are at your store when they see it. Don't suggest they go somewhere else.

The bots seemed to have slowed down drastically recently..but... This is the first time I've seen you participating in the forums or anywhere else. maybe you could boost your visits by partaking in a few contests and such.

"you also lead people out of your site in your bio."

This may well be true... but people have to visit the site to read the bio... :-)

You have some great stuff in your gallery Tamal. There really should be more people appreciating your work

Great advice everyone, thank you

Giving title to non-representational abstracts is difficult. IF you were a famous artist of abstracts - you might get away with "untitled" in the title - I have a few that way - because it's hard to name them - in my digital abstract account Digital Abstracts

It just seems like overkill with the SEO here. The advice is to use titles, discript, and tags in an insane way not relevant to anything. 500 characters is way beyond to much to try and think about if you know how to ad keywords. it just takes way to many hours of nonsense. Then after your done with thousands of hours doing things that everyone says you need to do, you then have to bring buyers here. WHAT?
And you want artists to be excited to do this?

i always try to give an abstract a name. anything, any name at all... life in NY, unfairness in the world, tomato stain. it doesn't matter what the titles are called, as long as they lead to a potential idea.

to sell anything you need:

people to know your there
telling people what you sell
having things people want.

from there, you have to find ways to get people to your site. keywords, are mostly internal. descriptions tell the people what your motives were, and it helps in google as does all the words on the page. titles help the customer. however those are only for people that are stumbling in. you still have to advertise and tell people where your located, just like a brick and mortar store. none of this is nonsense, its an art in itself.... it's not exciting, but before pod's, it was harder to sell art. you have to do some of the work.
