<p>you absolutely need to address the dmca, but i would start with a 301 redirect in order to recoup any value the page had rather than a 404. that is if you can't find another purpose for the page, such as changing the content.</p> <p>@rayma</p>
<p>as far as i know there is no straight answer. the assumption is that domain.com/blog will be better for your domain.com ranking. however, blog.domain.com works well for many big firms. any visitor to your blog is your visitor.</p>
<p>wix blogger and tumblr apps are integrated in the site, i.e. search engines sees them as part of the page. if you choose to use them , you may consider to mark the original blog as noindex to avoid duplicate content issues.&nbsp;</p>
<p>our advice to beginners who ask which option is better, blogger/tumblr app or external blog with subdomain, is to choose the one they think is better for the human user.</p> "the best way to find [cheap car insurance](https://getjerry.com/car-insurance/cheap-car-insurance) is to shop around. the more quotes you get, the more likely you'll find something that's more affordable than the $4,000 you're paying now.

Like one of top points overall, and another for the most points gained in the previous 4 weeks or something. I may never top to overall leaderboard, but I have a chance of getting on a monthly leaderboard. My advice to you is keep creating art! You said "I do not care about fame and fortune". If that statement is true, then creating art should be about having a hobby that you are good at! Some people have hobbies as playing an instrument, sewing, jewelry making, wood carving, etc., the list goes on and on. Your hobby is creating art. A hobby will bring you joy when life/times get hard, plus if you are good at your hobby, it will bring admirers along the way, whether it is a few admirers or alot of admirers. Keep creating art because it is never to late to have a hobby - something that brings you joy!

MARKETING ARTWORK:   

Open an account on photo sharing or video sharing websites (YouTube, Flickr, etc.) that gets HIGH volumes of traffic everyday! Post a FEW of your BEST artworks on these sites. The goal is to remain active by posting comments to get more exposure! If you post comments on other people's pictures or videos, they will more than likely check out your account as well. After each comment, type your name, Example: John Doe, Watercolor Artist. Also, use as MANY tags as possible so your photos/videos can be found by alot of people! Use a picture of your BEST ARTWORK as your AVATAR. You can't state that you sell artwork on these sites because they generally don't allow commercialism, so simply type your email or website address under your profile, so people can contact you directly about your artwork.   

  

Do your research and make sure the company is reputable before giving out your personal information!   

  

Upload a high resolution image of your artwork and the company will reproduce the artwork as prints and other items. They will create and ship the items to your customers and pay you when someone buys your items. Some of these websites allow you to sell your original handmade artwork or photographs also.
