Keeping the momentum going

While working on my redesign, I also noticed that my ranking had slipped one place to number eight on Google, when you search for "freelance artworker", so I updated my "about me" page to include more relevant links and key words...by the next day, I'd risen to number five  :)

However, it's already gone back to its previous number seven ranking again. So, as well as updating my blog (which might help it rise again), I've also created a new Google account - with more relevant naming - which now gives me a new Gmail address, YouTube username and Google+ account...hopefully a combination of these will add to it?

I also plan on uploading a video to youtube, about what being an artworker entails...hopefully all of this new, relevant content, coupled with stronger keywords, will help boost my ranking further.

Now I just need to finish redesigning my site!

Upping my game

I haven't touched the site, or my blog, for a couple of months* - but it still features in the top 7 spots on Google, when you search for "freelance artworker"...

However, one of my other aims was to improve the look and feel of the site, not just the ranking, and another was to add more content

Well, I figured I could amend my text links to be icons, and that would make my site look more in line with the homepage (yewhew.com), and I've seen a couple of sites I like with a full graphic in the background, so I'd like to try that out - those should help improve the look of the site.

I also read an article about improving your "about me" page, so I also intend to incorporate their advice, in order to improve the content of my site.

* not because I've gone off of it, I've just been busy, and working long hours.
