For as long as we've been in the art business, we have been committed to our belief that art is meant to be shared.
In keeping with that belief, the FineArtViews staffers often brainstorm for inventive ways to help our artists change the world by doing just that. Some of our best and most successful ideas include our sister publication, Informed Collector, as well as more recently, the addition of The Daily Art Show - a veritable (mouth-watering) feast of newly uploaded art, included in the FineArtViews, Informed Collector, and the BrushBuzz Daily Top 10 newsletters.
Great news! We're not stopping there. We've got a pretty awesome feature that our developers are working on and while there's not an exact release date just yet, we can promise that you'll be impressed.
Luckily for you, we're not going to keep you on the hook until then...we've got some great news to share with you today!
The newest way we're going to help share your art with the world is with our latest feature, FASO Featured Artists. FASO Featured Artists is an opportunity for us to showcase the amazing talent that our FASO artists have. It'll be a short segment featuring your art with a bit of description about you, your art, or a recent accomplishment. Of course, if a viewer is interested in learning more about you, there will be links back to you - making it even easier for them to be lifelong collectors of your work.
You'll start seeing these posts soon on the FineArtViews blog and an excerpt will be included in the FineArtViews newsletter. If you follow us on Twitter, you know each week our subscriber numbers are growing exponentially. We just want to make sure every reader gets the opportunity to be moved by your art.
If you'd like to be considered for inclusion as a FASO Featured Artist, please email us at editor@fineartviews.com. Please include the URL to your FASO website and if you're chosen to be featured, we'll contact you with the details.
Not a FASO customer? Well then, we encourage you to sign up for your free trial...
Sharing Art Enriches Lifesm. A simple statement but one we believe in with all our hearts. It's a driving force behind everything we do...and we promise to keep coming up with ideas to help YOU change the world with your art.

The secure search doesn't affect anything really. It just means you can't tell with as much accuracy which keywords are bringing you traffic.
Google used to pass the search term in the referring site information so that webmasters could break down which terms brought traffic.
About a year ago, Google introduced "secure search" - the idea being if you were searching for something embarrassing or private, you might not want the terms passed to anyone else. At first, secure search was something you had to actively go to. But they've now changed it and anyone logged into Google is on secure search. That is a problem as Google grows because people are now usually logged into Google. "Secure Search" could be ANY keyword that brings traffic to your site, but there's no longer a way to know what they were. But usually it's likely to be an aggregate of similar mix to the terms you can see (which are simply searches people made while NOT logged into google).
