"Sam Spratt Illustration" What, in your opinion, has been the biggest effect of the internet on art?How do you get noticed in the contemporary art scene when there are so many artists on the internet and social media? With so much plagiarism and emulations of artworks, how do you keep your artworks so original? 1-2. The Internet has allowed more people to discover art, do so easier, and thus enabled more people to be and aspire to be artists — and I think that’s neato burrito. 3-4. Well, not plagiarizing other people’s work is really the key here. It should be made having referenced the source material, materials beyond that source, references created on your own, and tied together through a technical understanding and personal treatment. 5-6. Very. 7.

Hey Google, check out my 301s | RagePank SEO Dec 18, 2008 Every so often, you need to change the domain name for a website. This isn't something to be taken lightly as there are several implications. One of these implications is having stale pages lingering around in Google's index from the old domain. Without any links to those old redirected pages, Google won't be revisiting those pages anytime soon. My solution to this problem is simple - write an open letter to Google. Hey Googlebot, long time no see mate. Thing is, the site has had dupe content issues in the past and we are only now doing something about it. So Googlebot, could you be so kind as to check out our 301s on the following pages, and do the decent thing and update your index? Cheers mate. Cheers, Harvey. You don't post the letter - you just place it on a page somewhere that Googlebot will find. So basically I'm just recommending that if you want to speed up the reindexing of your site, you need to get some links. Tags: 301duplicate contentredirectredirectionredirects

7 Twitter Strategies for Growing a Great Following You’re likely on Twitter. But are you connecting with the right people? Do you want to build a quality Twitter following? If so, keep reading. In this post we will explore sometimes obvious, yet seldom implemented, techniques of building a following on Twitter as well as few methodologies you may have not considered but should find quite useful. The inspiration for this post came from the book Twitter Power by Joel Comm. Let’s get started. #1: Look for people you already know This one is a no-brainer but it often goes unexecuted. You can tell Twitter to cull the list of contacts from your existing accounts on Gmail, Yahoo, AOL and LinkedIn. This method is limited to web-based email and unfortunately there is no simple way to search your Outlook contacts for Twitterers. But there is a way around that: Open a free web-based email account such as Gmail or Yahoo! Done! There are additional implications, of course. #2: Twijazzle your blog So how do you Twijazzle your blog? Amen, brother Joel. How?
