Not everyone in Beverly Hills is a bot. There are shoppers that live there.

Beverly Hills is also a router for many connections so you may see that address from a visitor from elsewhere

Roger;

The bots help people find you. They're sent from the search engines to gather information. They're your friend. Help them out by putting in the best, most relevant keywords. "Sunset" is a generic keyword. Keep in in, of course, but think about location as keywords, too. On this one

Art Prints

you have Cape May. If that's an actual location, that's a good start, but I don't see the state or nearest town listed. This is what I came up with when I searched "Cape May" --

Cape May Art
Displaying: 1 - 36 of 2060 cape may art for sale (0.002 s)

This one here --

Photography Prints

is a stunning piece. Again, there is nothing that tells the prospective buyer where it was taken in the keywords. I see the location in the caption, but I would spell out New Jersey. People here say that different search engines see different things. Just because it's in the caption doesn't mean it will turn up in a search. A search for "Howell NJ" did not bring up your spectacular image.

And then I would suggest looking at other pricing. You're seriously under selling yourself and that could possibly be making buyers wary. Go to a similiar photographer, click on an image, then click "Art Print" and go to where the price is and click "Show Price Details. The price will be listed. Just keep in mind that FAA adds a $5 mark-up. There's a few 8 inch prints you're basically giving away.

Sorry for the unasked for advice.

The IP address of the often seen Beverly Hills visitor (not every Beverly Hills visitor) is the crawler of bing, the search engine of Microsoft.

I do not understand why people do not want this visits. When You program Your own code You could keep them out very easily. But that does not make any sense because than nobody will find Your work.

I think everyone wants bots to view their work, I know I do, but I think many would prefer that they do not show up on the statistics because it does give a false sense of security.

Thank you all. I guess I am getting frustrated at not making any sales in 2 years . I hope the advise about key words helps I just retired and would love to supplement the income.
