Sorry for not responding sooner - I was out of town. Thanks so much for the info. I'm curious about two thing at this point.

First, could you guys steer me towards examples of "good" content and "bad" or "not so good content"?

I guess I have no frame of reference for what would be perceived as bad.

Are we talking about good writing? Information that is professional and not shaky? Graphics that wow the viewer? Maybe if I see what doesn't work I'll know what does.

Second, I'm assuming that art supply companies would possibly be interested in advertising on my site. If I name them on my site, does that help draw them as an advertiser? If I name specific brushes, for example, would that increase my chances of the brush manufacturer advertising, or does Google take care of all of that?

Thanks again! I love having you guys as resources!
