    Hi--just curious about the traffic for your website--is it generating sales? Do you have any idea "why" or "how" you are getting so much traffic (i.e  well known reputation, strong base of existing customers & interested others, targeted SEO skills, links to you placed on other sites???)  I enjoyed your videos and text & photos of your gorgeous work, by the way.  Lee U

      Lee U, also it doesn't hurt to have @Marcia Selsor mention you and your website in the latest article she is featured in. :D  We do get several hits from Europe.  Thanks Marcia!

      Lee U, sorry for the delay , at the current time, I do not sell from the website, I really don't think the photos do the pieces justice and do not show the depth of the coloring and patterns.   I did set a store up for the workshop, but decided to invoice them instead.  It would not be hard to activate it for the pottery pieces if I decide to go that route.

      I am not a huge techie, just got lucky with the use of meta keywords which helped me show up in searches.  Now as I understand it, the more clicks I get, the higher ranking I receive from internet searches, which helps keep me there.  I do a little social media, mainly on FB that links back to the site and vice versa.  Everything I did was done by following help files and reading a couple books on website building/design.

      Thanks for your kind words about our site and work.  Ha...the videos are cheesy, but get watched and shared  a lot.  I do need to do an updated Obvara one, got to talk one of my boys into being the camera guy again.

    well monday we get a new puppy. so fun. I often make little clay eggs and I had some drying at home once. came home and found them full of teeth marks. No studio time for this pup.

      We had a Great Dane once that like to bite into and drop mugs, went through a whole table full of freshly thrown mugs by the time we got home. All that remained was the plops of clay all over the studio.

    Tuscany 4 is going strong. Everyone went on their own this afternoon to see what was their main interest. Tomorrow we leave for Faenza and the International Cermaics Museum, pottery studio visits and Ravenna World Heritage Sites.

      Cleaning up pieces as I have time, the commission piece survived and that was the push for the firing.
