How to Optimize Video Content for Search Engine Indexing

By Marcus Richard

If you perform a simple search on video search or video SEO, you will be bombarded with numerous articles that try to explain this technique. Video search optimization, or Video SEO (VSEO) is a new bug that has bitten the world recently. Though it's a new technique, still many companies have started using it aggressively to earn high ranking and more business.

In order to successfully optimize your videos for search engines, it is important that you have some knowledge regarding the various aspects of search as well as the difference in techniques with regard to video.

Keyword research is important for Video search engine optimization. However, there are some key differences in terms of the methods that should be employed for keyword researching video terms. In order to know your target audience for seeing your videos, it is important to first conduct some research on keywords and compile a keyword list. This list can be obtained by doing some simple searches for a related product or service. There are not yet any keyword research tools specifically for video. Keep in mind that video searches at this point tend to be shorter keywords, not "long tail" searches. In addition, more than anything, your keyword list should have the word "video" in it. Examples - car videos, car video, racing video, automotive videos, etc....

The next step after you have generated a keyword list is to take a good look at the video search platforms to see which channels and categories, tags, etc... tend to get the most views, as well as to look at which platforms have the highest performance in views, ratings, etc... You will certainly want to submit your video to multiple sites but you will want to make sure that at the least, you submit your video to the more popular engines.

Well, as you know with keyword research, it is an ongoing process. It is important to pay attention to the feedback, comments, and links to existing related videos to find related keyword terms that you may have missed in your original keyword list.

Studies show that people who regularly provide user feedback tend to take frequent action on your uploaded video. This even includes visits to your actual website and end-point conversions.

It is much easier to get your video optimized and seen on search engine results pages when you are choosing a theme that does not already exist in mass. Dont make the mistake of creating videos that repeat videos already out there. Instead, choose fresh ideas and find a "content space" for your theme/keyword.

Studies have shown as well that users who watch videos are less interested in watching videos that are more than a few minutes in length. Try to target your videos to be less than 3 minutes in total length. If you have a very long video, perhaps try to create multiple segments or clips from the video targeting videos with 1-3 minutes in duration.

With video SEO, it is also important to take advantage of the ability to brand your video using watermarks, logos, text, or any additional information that will get users back to your main destination. That is the beauty of video search engine optimization. It does and will drive traffic back to your website or business.

So, if you want to get your video discovered, view, and consumed by more and more users, video search engine optimization is the way to go. This is a great new technique for getting maximum exposure to your business, and currently, this is such a new topic, that you can be one of the first to capture your keyword or theme with a video search result.

How to Create the Best Quality Videos for Youtube

By Marcus Richard

If youre like millions of others around the world youve been to and even uploaded videos to YouTube. But then you had all sorts of problems getting your files to show properly or look good or a hundred other things.

Resolution " YouTube display in a fairly specific resolution and to help their compression utilities get your video up with the minimum of loss of quality you need to match your video up to their resolution. Since theyre using 720p now, which means you should have 1280x720 pixel resolution you need to set your video resolution accordingly. This will cut down on compression time and give you a better idea of what your video will look like in the end. Its not so bad really. The resolution is HD and that means that you can get a real HD experience out of YouTube.

Bitrate " Without getting into the technical mumbo jumbo, this is how much information each second of your video is. The more information means the better quality generally. So when youre making your video, editing or converting youll want to get this to somewhere around 6 Megabits-per-second and 8 Megabits-per-second. This will give you a large file size that should fit into the YouTube limits (1GB) and still give you ample quality after the YouTube compression process. This is a good way to make sure your video will retain some semblance of what it looked like when you made it.

While youre thinking about the other things youve also got to think about several more things, audio is one of them. You need to have this in MP3 or AAC (44.1KHz Stereo ideally) on the track or you risk losing quality during compression and conversion. Your best bet is to set this to CBR of VBR if you have the option. Framerate is another thing you should pay attention to. To keep thinks flowing smoothly youve got to maintain a minimum of 30+ FPS or frames per second. The file format you need to have your stuff in is .mov or .mp4. If your video editing package cant handle that then youre going to want to look into one that can. Quicktime Pro is often touted as the ideal since its both cheap and handles a wide variety of video formats.

Once youve got all this, upload your video, wait for YouTube to process it and you should a nice looking video pushed out to the site for your friends, family and complete strangers. Good Luck in your video marketing efforts.

By Laurence Dos Santos

Multi-level marketing (MLM) is also called Network Selling, which operates on the principle of supplying goods produced by an organization directly to the consumer. As a result, the profit margins get channelised towards the seller who creates the largest network.

How Effective is 'My Story Marketing'?

By Jan Shimano

Perhaps you have heard all the buzz lately about the term 'My Story Marketing'. Many want to know what it is and whether it can possibly help their business. We all have our own personal story and for some of us it could be a very compelling one at that. However, if no one ever hears our story, then it will definitely not have any impact on our business.

So how can we get our own unique story out there for all to see? Those that have been most successful at doing this, have used the social network marketing scene. The most popular ones today are YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Even though they all have different features, they all put a great deal of emphasis on interaction with other people.

There is a section on all these sites where you can tell visitors all about yourself. This is something that many people don't properly utilize. They just put one or two sentences up there that don't tell the reader very much at all. Here is your chance to tell your story and connect with others. This is your opportunity to draw people in.

If you have your own website, mention it and state that you are the creator of it. Make sure you tell them something interesting about yourself. This might be a little challenging for a young person, but even they have had many unique things happen to them. Certainly, an older person can shine here because they will have so many exciting stories to choose from.

Regardless of your age, you must identify a major problem that you have faced. Go into detail about this. For example, perhaps at one time you were on the verge of having your car repossessed because you couldn't afford the payments anymore. Don't be afraid to be personal. You want people to relate to you on a deep level. Once you have their attention, you will then want to explain to them how you found the solution to your problem. An excellent phrase to use is "all that changed when...." It is as this stage when you explain your business opportunity and how it dramatically turned your life around.

The final stage to 'My Story Marketing' is a call to action. For some reason, people shy away from asking for what they want. There can only be two responses, and that's 'yes' or 'no'. So we have a 50% chance of getting what we want by asking. What should we be asking them to do at this final stage? We should ask them to click on the link to our website and enter their name and e-mail address so that they can receive additional information. As each site has different regulations, make sure you are not violating any of them in the manner you show your website address.

'My Story Marketing' is extremely powerful. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. You are in the business of building relationships with people that respect, trust and like you. This does not happen overnight. However, riches can be yours by developing your story and getting people to relate to you. A friend of mine in the business has developed a following of many thousands of people over recent years. In a message to them, he mentioned an opportunity that he thought was sound. Within a week he had earned himself at least $40,000.00 in affiliate commissions.

This would not have happened for my friend if he had not utilized the 'My Story Marketing' philosophy and told his unique story. That story resonated with many people and they in turn told others about him and his following grew. This is something we can all do. In fact, this is something we all must do, if we want to stand out from the crowd and be part of that 5% who are highly successful in the network marketing business.

How Long does the Google Sandbox Last

By Brent Sweet

If you know anything about search engine optimization then you have probably gotten word of the Google sandbox. The sandbox is a thing that nobody knows for sure if it exists. It is a filter that people believe will prevent your new site from achieving the ranking it deserves because it is new to the Google index.

So is it really there? I can't really say for sure. It would be a good idea, but it would prevent sites that are brand new and good from ranking for a period of time. There really is only one thing that would tell you if it exists and that is if you were so good at SEO that you could develop and optmized page both on and off site that should be number 1 and register the domain all on the same day. I don't know anybody that good.

I have a site that I built that was on the first page of Google for a competitive keyword in less than 30 days. I will admit that after the first 14 days of domain registration it was indexed below position one hundred and then jumped to number 40. But couldnt that have been a result of my increased optimization efforts.

My point is, that yes it may exist, but it is easy to get a first page ranking in about 30 days. If you are so good that you are optimizing where you should be above that, but are not then maybe there is. My point is that my site was on page 1 of Google before I was even indexed in Yahoo, so I dont believe there is a sandbox per say.

I think the sandbox is the fact that it takes a little time to outrank the sites that are older and have been ranked for a while. I mean to get a top ten ranking, you have to knock someone else off!

Cut Phone Bills in Half Using Voice Over IP

By Frank Newman

Long distance bills are expensive, and completely unnecessary! Voice over Internet Protocol or VoIP utilizes the same technology that has made postal correspondence nearly obsolete " the internet! Business Voip service works in the same way as a traditional office phone system; it just uses your existing internet connection instead of phone lines. The result is that most good VoIP providers include unlimited long distance for a flat fee, as opposed to the per minute charges from Ma Bell telecoms that drive up phone bills.

Essential business services, are just that, they are ESSENTIAL, and for the most part they are not interchangeable. Expedited shipping with Fedex or DHL can't be replaced. Replacing the power company with solar panels or a wind farm would be nice, but it isnt a realistic option. Soaring phone bills on the other hand are the one place where you can get the same result for much less money!

A business class Hosted PBX (short for Private Branch Exchange) offers all the features that a business needs to create a professional customer facing presence without the high cost of enterprise level equipment. In the same way that a hosting company's server hosts your website, a PBX company's server hosts your phone system, and you can login on a webpage to manage all the functions of your phone system. These phone functions are identical to the switch board operators from the olden days, except like almost everything else these days, software does the job. You get Auto-attendants, Virtual Extensions, Voice Mail to Email, Call Forwarding, and Unlimited toll free numbers, all for a fraction of the cost.

HD voice will soon be as omnipresent as HD TV. Old traditional phone lines wont be able to use HD voice, similar to how the rabbit ears on old television sets that pick up the outdated airwaves cannot receive HD TV. Only IP phones will have HD voice, since they receive calls over high-speed internet connections like the T1 connection that many businesses have in their offices.

If your business has high call volume, there is very little reason not to use Voice over IP. Many VoIP companies are currently waving set up fees. There is an initial cost of buying VoIP phones, but the month to month cost reduction of phone bills will offset this initial expenditure within the first few months, and from there on out bills will be much much less.

Video Marketing and SEO Insider Tactics

By Angela Jameson

With fifty-two percent of online content being in the form of video, video marketing makes a lot of sense. This is because an individual would rather sit back and watch a video than read the words on the page. You can take your video promotion and reach a lot of people who are incredibly interested in what it is you are offering. If they see a web-page full of text about your product or business, they may bypass it, but give them a video and they may stick around for a while.

The goal behind this is to reach as many web surfers as possible. That is why a program like Traffic Geyser is important. They provide video submission software that can create podcasts and submit to social networking sites, blogs, and social bookmarking sites. This is very important because exposure to millions of people is something that is priceless, especially if you dont have to spend thousands of hours of time doing it.

Another thing that is very important is that you can market your website for a great price. Not everyone has money that they can throw around, especially when the economy is rough. However, there are those who do throw it around, but then they have no idea why their bottom line is not doing so well. If they would take time to think about how to reduce their marketing costs instead of spending money on whatever, they may see an improvement in their bottom line.

With video marketing, a large part of the market is able to view your video. This is because of the amazement that comes with videos. They put images to what would be text if it wasnt for the video.

Something else that is fascinating about using video promotion is the fact that obtaining your video submission software is just as simple as obtaining the software that submits articles to article directories and websites to search engines. This explains how so many videos find such exposure all over the web. Those who created these videos are definitely not going to spend thousands of hours of work on submitting videos. They cant if they want to be successful because they can spend that time on the other parts of the business that is important.

Video submission software will do the following: submit your video to social networking sites, social bookmarking sites, podcasts, blogs, and so much more. If it has a place for video, your video can live there. It is really that simple.

As for what occurs after your video has been submitted to the many websites on the web, youll be quite amazed. First of all, people will see your video and they will view it. If they are amongst your target audience, youll find that your quality traffic will grow. This is because the people seeing your video are actually interested in your video, which means that they have an interest in your business.

Just keep in mind that the Internet gives you access to millions of people on the web and they are willing to spend money on something that will make their life easier. This just goes to show how powerful video marketing really is and how strong a good video submission software like Traffic Geyser can be.

Make Money Online by Sharing Business Ideas

By Nicole Dean

The global economy is facing very hard times right now. A lot of people are getting very worries about finances and it can be very tempting to hop on the financial woe bandwagon. However, you can actually choose to take a very different view and see our financial climate as an opportunity instead.

How can a bad economy be a positive thing for you? While layoffs and downsizing are becoming a reality for a lot of people, those same people are now looking for ways to earn money - online, offline, cheap, and free. Because there are so many people searching for money-making ideas, this is a huge opportunity for you. You can provide legitimate money-making ideas for others and make money yourself.

How do you do that? Here are several ways.

Create an Online Community or Blog

By creating a website, blog, or online community targeted towards people who're already looking for ideas, you can easily tap into a very hungry market. Simply profile or highlight a variety of different business ideas that people can start - even ones that can be started on a limited budget. You would add a valuable resource to the internet by giving visitors an opportunity to discuss these ideas through the comments section of your blog or through a forum on your website.

You can earn income in a number of ways. The easiest would be by displaying ads through Google's Adsense program and by accepting advertisers. (You can also make money by promoting other people's products through their referral programs as you'll see in a moment.)

Another way you could make money by sharing business ideas is to

Create a Your Own Information Product

Millions are made selling ebooks about business ideas. While it can be very tough to compete in the big "How to start a restaurant" or "How to invest in real estate" markets, you can easily dominate smaller niche markets without too much competition.

It takes a bit of work upfront to create an eBook. First you need to brainstorm a good idea to write about. Once you have your idea, the next step is to spend time writing your eBook or recording an audio eBook. After your product is complete, then you can make a website or blog that's designed to persuade your visitor to buy.

Of course, you'll need to provide ongoing customer support for your products and continually promote (market) your website to generate sales.

One of the best things about selling a downloadable product is that you never have to ship or print anything. All your products are easy for your buyers to just download on to their computer.

However, if that sounds like a lot of work, an easier alternative is to

Selling Other People's Business Products for a Commission

If you'd rather not create your own product, you can make a lot of money selling someone else's product instead. Most of the best-selling "How to start a business" websites (including the one mentioned at the end of this article) offer a referral program. Depending on which free program you sign up for, you can get paid as much as 50% of all sales that you refer. (Send a customer to the website and you get 1/2 of the sale price.)

What's amazing about these programs is that you can still make a ton of money without creating your own product, worry about customer service or fulfilling orders. The only thing you need to do is send their website customers with a special referral link. If you're someone who likes to tell friends about new stores, products or online finds, then you might find that this is an amazing way to make some money for you.

Mothers: How to Connect With this Profitable Market

By Alice Seba

Interpreting the big increase in Web purchasing, a survey by Forrest Research claimed that expected Internet buying would grow to over $200 billion in 2008, compared to $96 billion in 2003. So who are responsible for all those purchases?

A good part of the market is women, particularly young mothers who are part of the consumer group that cite a preference for Internet shopping to avoid crowds, get better prices, compare products, and reduce the need to travel around to find what they want.

In 2003, women in the 18-34 year age bracket made up 15% of Internet users. They also constituted 24% of the buyers from cosmetic and fragrance sites, 20% of the customers for wearing apparel, and 22% of the shoppers for jewelry and other luxury items.

In total, 50% of all Web sales are done by a person in a family where the main breadwinner is in the 25-55 age bracket, and it is becoming more and more transparent that families have the largest influence on the combined yearly revenues by Internet shops, primarily in cases where the adult female in the family was organizing the purchasing of gifts, and individual particulars.

The survey taken with possible buyers, resulted in industry statistics establishing $1 being spent on Internet purchasing for every $1.50 in local stores, thus making an obvious influence on purchases in shop in the area.

Ecards Warm the World

By James Gilbert Pynn

Most warm-blooded mammals enjoy receiving gifts. Thanks to the cold, electrical grid of fiber optics cable crisscrossing our globe, we can now send all our friends and enemies birthday ecards. Send what, you say! Send ecards. On their birthdays. Dont rely on the postal system to get anything right (though they do a pretty god job of it). Cut your stress time in half and free up some of your precious time. Wasting time sending a birthday car two weeks early? Forget it! You can send ecards on the frigid day!

Nothing beats the speed of light for fast. And guess how fast emails and stuff go. Thats right " pretty fast. Now, Ive seen a few of the more popular one " and its like watching the last trailer of the new Jim Carey movie. Usually. There are some really lame ones out there. Nothing is perfect, but seriously, guys, can we try a little harder?

To be sure, all youre looking for, really, is a good chuckle. The chances that birthday ecards will make people fall down laughing are pretty thin. These days, thats a tall order. No much is going to physically get people down in the aisles and rolling. That being said, though, there is a number of keen clips thatll get your recipient on the sunny side of life.

Theyre so easy to send. Have I said this already? Maybe I have. But it doesnt matter because it bears repeating. Theyre easy to send and " get this " theyre free! I mean, not all ecards are free, but some of the funnier sites have free clips. So two major stumbling blocks have been hurdled with the grace off an Olympian: cost and ease of use.

Keeping a massive logbook of whose birthday is when is like carrying a crossbow. It's nonsense. Most of us hear about someones birthday on the day. Thats super red alert, panic time and time to get something funny fired across the fiber-optic cables. Save the trees, save the ink creatures " stop destroying the earth and send an ecards instead. What red-blooded mammal wants to do-in his environment? Be a human being and send birthday ecards! The future of the planet depends on your good senses.

About the Author:

The days of wine and roses often involve someone's birthday. Get to the party on time, send a bevvy of birthday ecards instead of bothering with a ballpoint and paper. Nothing says you care more than sending birthday ecards.

Business Tip: Blog about your Favorite Products for Cash

By Nicole Dean

Where should we shop? Have you tried any new good restaurants? Read any good books lately? Most people love to share their opinions with others. People love to talk about all their favorite things (and not-so-favorites, as well) with friends and family and we do it everyday for free. Word-of-mouth is actually what drives the market in many cases. This is why there is an opportunity to cash in by sharing your opinions on blogs.

A Blog is basically a journal in which people can share their opinions and information about things that interest them. Blogs were started back in 1995, but have really taken off in the last few years. Free applications such as Wordpress.org and Google's blogger.com have made blogging available to anyone with a computer and the desire to blog. A simple guide to get you started making money with blogging is available at the end of this article.

If you've made it this far into the article, you've probably already got some of the skills required; you love to try new things and you love sharing your opinion. You'll also need enough knowledge of the computer to set up a nice looking blog, or you'll need to find someone to set it up for you. Being able to write an interesting review is also a valuable asset. If this appeals to you, you may be well on your way to earning money on your blog by sharing your opinion.

Products and services are often sold by word-of-mouth. Many companies rely on consumer reviews as a valuable marketing strategy. If you are thinking about reviewing products and services on your blog, you'll want to know what it takes to turn your opinion into a real home-based, money-making business. In other words -- how do you actually make money doing this?

Pay for Survey or Review: Some companies pay bloggers money for simply reviewing their products online. An example is PayPerPost.com which hooks up bloggers with companies that want their products reviewed. There are many more sites online like that one, some catering to different groups. It's just one example of how you can be paid for reviews.

Pay for Product Research: Companies may request researchers to actually use a product and submit an honest opinion and review of their findings. These product research fees can range up to $75 per review and you get to keep the product after the test is over. I've received all kinds of books from publishers and CD's that I've reviewed. It's a great way to add to your book collection. Just be sure to only accept free items from companies who you're actually going to review. It pays to say "no" if it keeps you on their good side for future offers.

Pay for Ads: Selling advertisement on your blog is another way to earn money. Offer text ads, banner/graphic ad spots, as well as paid reviews to ensure that companies find a way to advertise on your site.

The potential to earn money from writing about products and services on your blog are endless. Take a minute and do a quick search online and you will find hundreds of ideas to write about, and find the companies that are requesting reviews. Chances are something you just tried recently is available for you to write about on your blog.
