What can be achieved using seo for this website

This infographic shows what search engine optimiser(seo) can do for a website or blog.

It hasn’t been very long since we lost our domain dawnlim.com and moved to this domain dawnlim.com.au, it was a great reward to see the climbing of the website rankings in both of the world and Australia. In Australia the rankings has peaked and now fall back a bit to stablised at 9000. Hope the world ranks is still climbing and not stabilised yet.

So folks, seo works rather well for us here.

update on accidental startup artist site, See.Me

Posted on May 11, 2013 by
Which is better, a small individual artist website or a massive superstore artists website?
Mashable has picked up the story of the accidental startup website. See.Me
A chat with the man himself of See.Me
Dawn has been involved with the New York, See.Me website for a little while now after been featured in the billboards on Times Square in 2011 and on their website’s homepage.

Now the social network website is dedicated to promote the work of musicians, photographers and artists and has the ability to receive donations from fans. At last count, the site has 630,000 registered users, trying to raise money and build relationships with their fans. Some lucky users have gone viral while others, the majority are still waiting to be discovered.
Helamen says he still doesn’t think much of the site’s aim but recognised that it is one of the most successful accidental start-up of the phenomena of the emergence of the superstore website. He wonders if any one can actually be found among the 630,000 users. Its the “tip of the iceberg” scenario. You can only see the tip but a vast body of the iceberg cannot be seen.
So what’s best? A small artists own website with the marketing enhanced or a superstore artist website. Helamen used a tool for “social crawlytics” which measures the social network shares of Dawn’s dedicated website which was massive, but on the superstore See.me, she has only one like and 136 total views.
Its like looking for a needle in a haystack! or a Lottery win!

Beyond Mark Making in Outsider Abstract Art

Posted on May 9, 2013 by
Here is Dawn latest painting, all hung up in our living room

Dawn used to paint abstracts in oils on stretched canvas, starting by making marks on the canvas to see where they lead her. However, she has moved on and all her experiments have brought her to this new found confidence. Now she has a vision of what colours and shapes she wants at the start, and she is still experimenting  with the 3D effects in her latest paintings, 
 
Dawn is preparing for an exhibition in Mad Gallery at Lancefield, Victoria around late June. She hopes to donate some of the profits to the homeless and mentally ill with the charitable organisation, Scrible Ink-the voice of Ballarat. Scrible Ink finds beds for the homeless in Ballarat.
 
Dawn said her latest paintings are what she was hoping for when she started to paint abstracts. She wanted gestural colourful compositions and feels that at last she is finally making the art she wanted to make after all these years. She also wants to get back to her first love of portraits which she taught herself when she was still a little girl. Her mentor, Doug Wright remarked that he was disappointed she didn’t continue with her portraits  and would have liked to see her paint portraits in her college days and wondered how she would go. But she chose to paint abstract for a while.

Sandi Thom live in concert at Art Gallery of Ballarat

Posted on May 5, 2013 by

Scottish singer-songwriter performs very well in the rich acoustic room of the Art Gallery of Ballarat tonight. Just loved that song, her worldwide hit I wish I was a punk rocker (With flowers in my hair) in 2006. She played a number for the first time on the piano anong her other songs strumming and picking on her 12 stringed guitar. Her voice was strong and beautiful. Very talented.
