ArtWanted.com Website Traffic

We have had a bunch of members ask us for website statistics recently, so we thought we would put together a message for everyone to see.

Traffic, membership and artwork sales increase every single month on ArtWanted.com - Even with hundreds of new members joining every month, the average hits to artist portfolios increases by an even larger percent.

We will first start off with our yearly growth numbers. Every year our website traffic is jumping higher and higher. Below is a chart of the 'unique visitors' to our site in the last four years. In Jan 2003 we had 12,000 unique visitors to our site. Compare this with the 530,000 unique visitors we had in Jan 2006. The numbers this year are over 44 times greater then 4 years ago!

As we look back at 2005, it was a great year for ArtWanted.com. We launched the print program and many other improvements were made throughout the year. The number of unique visitors more than tripled from Jan - Dec and the number of artwork sales greatly increased, due to the sales generated from the print program.

For those that want to know our recent traffic statistics, here are the numbers for January 2006:

Total Unique Visitors: 530 Thousand
Total Pageviews: 5.5 Million
Total Website Hits: 31 Million

We appreciate all of you that spread the word about our site and put links on your websites back to ArtWanted.com - As you can tell by the numbers, you are making ArtWanted.com the best artist community on the net.

I don't have anywhere near John's hits, but my hits so far this year are more than all of last year combined.

Thanks for the great site. I don't have the premium account yet, but it's high on my wish list.

Hi I think your website is great, and its wonderful that the amound of vsiters increase so much. I am curious how much you sell, I have no idea and it would be nice to know

Lisa Brewer 22 Mar 2006

I used to have a personal website apart from Art Wanted but canceled it because I was rec. more exposure from ArtWanted. Thank you.

Dennis Malcolm 22 Mar 2006

Wow! Really that's incredible news!

Brandi Kambalov 22 Mar 2006

I have a deviantart account as well- I have been here less than a week and I already have 1/5 of the hits on my page here than I've had over there (and I've been there over a year.) I've also recieved a lot more meaningful comments and critiques--and so far the work I've posted is a few years old, not even my best. I feel I'll have an opportunity to get much more exposure here and grow...and maybe someday have my own business.
