Google and the Arts

We have now set up the websites glasssculpture.info and already we are starting to get traffic...along with sites the likes of glassfused.com and glassfused.info

What I am baffled about is the number of sites that are owned by people that have bought them to make money solely from google adds...good example is glasssculpture.com it doesnt have anything about glass sculptures with the exception of google adds...
And of course you try and optimize your site with lots of information about your own glass sculptures but why would google want to put your site ahead of a site that is there to earn them money...they arent are they...

So that is my grumble for the day...

On a positive note the gallery in Surfers paradise that I wrote about last week that owed us many thousands of $$$$$ has finally sent a cheque for 20% of what they owe...it will be interesting to see if it clears ok..
In the end I threatened to write to all of the Australian art magazines...that had the gallery owner who owns 2 other galleries, and the bad publicity would no go down well at all...Interestly enough the magazines I did write too didnt bother to even reply...so they obviously not interested at all in the arts and the artists...all they are interested in is the revenue they get from the art galleries...
