Hi AW Folk,

Yes, I've noticed a massive upsurge in my viewing numbers these last few months (average now around 1200 per month, around 4-5 times more than when I joined up two years or so ago.) and your figures above fortify that for me.

I just want to thank you for being here. I do have folios elsewhere, but all of them combined have far less traffic than mine here. I hope to be renewing my premium membership very soon; it's the least I can do for the service you've been to me. I've not had any job offers yet, but I do hope I've made an impression on even a small percentage of the visitors who've come to my folio.

Thanks guys and gals!

Thank you for the stats. Do you have similar statistics for sales?


ArtWanted.com Staff 30 Mar 2006

As we mentioned, sales continue to rise every month and we have many sales every day on our site from our artists. However, as with most websites, we do not disclose sales or exact revenue numbers for the site.

Great figures. AW is the best. I have tried others but none compare.

Thanks for the stats! Do you also have charts for time of day or day of week?

Thanks AW for giving all us less known artist the much needed exposure!! There are so many of us artists out here that feel like "little fish in a big pond(ocean)" and would not be seen otherwise! Kudos to AW!!

From AW: "As we mentioned, sales continue to rise every month and we have many sales every day on our site from our artists. However, as with most websites, we do not disclose sales or exact revenue numbers for the site."

No one is asking for revenue figures. You are telling us that sales continue to rise and that there are many sales every day, but the only rationale you give for not posting stats is that other sites don't either. You are selling a service: the print program. I don't see any way of evaluating that service without some kind of sales statistics. Surely you could tell us numbers of prints sold, say, last year, without revealing anything confidential.

For me, the number of people who visit is far less significant than sales, because the bulk of those hits are just members looking at each other's work, not "outside" purchasers.

Don't get me wrong; I like the site. But in terms of where to put my efforts and marketing dollars, I need some way of evaluating the print program in comparison with other similar sites.

That's great news! And I've seen it reflected in my own number of hits. Most especially when AW chose me as featured artist for 3 and a half days! I'm still not sure if that was a mistake or not,...but thanks so much AW!

I'd like to know how many sales are from Non Artwanted Members? Are the sales just tied into artist buying their own prints or other Artwanted Members buying the prints? It is just common sense that sales would rise with the number of people joining Artwanted? I think the real figures that need to be shown are how much is sold to non members?

Bottom line AW -- Congratulations on a superb job. What a wonderful thread of honest and civil remarks. Thank you AW and those posting. I have just learned something valuable.

I LOVE THE SITE AND NOW THAT I HAVE UPGRADED IT IS WELL WORTH IT. I CANT DRIVE ANYMORE DUE TO MY ACCIDENT, BUT ARTWANTED HAS HELPED ME GET THROUGH SOME OF THE BAD DAYS THAT I HAVE . THANKS AW.

Kevin Delaney 29 Apr 2006

Speaking of stats. I hope you fix the referral program some day. I like being able to track the stats sent to Artwanted.

Registering and participating with and through this site has helped me in many ways I could have not learned alone. AW as a platform provides the arts a voice. This voice may be used to promote messages for all humans and many think that it is imperative that we use this voice to promote rational thought, insight, awareness, understanding, harmony, discernment, hope, and exponential growth. The main obstacles are: prejudice, greed, control, egocentrism, and a lack of understanding. We may choose to help mankind overcome: shame, hate, learned-helplessness, and isolation. Thsi8 can be much much more. This is just my voice. The time has come to let your light shine with NO constraints!

I don't know if I'm being daft, but I can't figure out if my hit statistics reflect UNIQUE HITS or if they also include return hits.

I frequently go back to other members portfolios and assume that others do the same with mine. It would make a difference.

I'd also love to know how many NON-MEMBERS view my portfolio, if possible.

Thanks AW!

that's an amazing traffic

Zach DiDomenick 13 May 2006

I'm just loving the attention I am recieving here at artwanted.com, hate to say it, sure beats the heck out of DeviantArt, which is lately starting to suck a bit. I highly recomend www.artwanted.com to all my artist friends.

Veronica Verve 14 May 2006

I would just like to see a PR program, incetive for viewers to buy.

Julia Scorupsky 20 May 2006

I'm really amazed at all that you offer, guys! Good job!

Hadyn Lassiter 23 May 2006
