Understanding Visits

I am happy because I just passed the 100 visitor mark.
I would like to understand what registers as a visit. Does someone looking at an image in a contest chalk up a visit? Or does a person have to specifically click on the image? Do visits from non-members register? Any info to help me understand would be welcome. Thanks.

any one, and any thing, including yourself (if you haven't filtered yourself out). counts as a visit. they have to click on an image to count, or i guess any page? every bot and so on also counts.

if your getting very few hits, its because your not advertising your work at all. the one i clicked just now had no views at all. a 100 views in 3 months, is actually pretty low, sorry to stab your excitement. you'll have to push out to get more views.

Visits from non members certainly do register, which naturally does include bots.

As I understand it the visit isn't registered until the actual page is visited, so voting in a contest won't register.

You definitely need to work harder on getting you work seen. I've been here three months and have almost 1000 views, and that's actually not very high. I do almost no marketing outside of FAA so I don't even give those views much credit. However probably the main reason you have so few views is because you have so few images.

Thanks for the information. I have only been a member for a little over a month. I think averaging 3 views a day is not too bad as I started with only 3 images. I am not sure what you mean by advertising my work--you mean beyond FAA? Or within FAA in a manner I an unaware?

You need to tweet them and share them on any and every social network... Good luck.

May you soon be posting your 1,000th visit.

 

Celeste if your intention is to make sales here, which I am assuming is why you have come to FAA, then it's all about exposure. You need to get your images seen by as many people as possible

Keep in mind that the majority of those views are most likely bots. If you'be had 100 visits then assume 60-80 of those are non human automated programs. Be sure you have filtered your own ip address out as well.

I'm sorry to say the guys above are correct when they say 100 views in 3 months is low. That's 8 views a week or just over 1 view a day. You need to really market digitally and physically to get those numbers up.

Don't be too concerned by visits though, what's more import any is thY you are targeting your art to the right people to better your chances one of them wants to buy your art.

Mike and Abbie can provide useful resources to boost exposure.

if your only getting 3 views a day - that's not how you run a business, i usually get a few thousand a day. advertising your work means telling people on the outside that your here to sell things.

these will help for now, just choose the ones you like.

i just uploaded yesterday and i have between 50-130 views on each one. a view now and then - you won't get sales that way.
