Blog SEO Tips: Posting Videos Is Killing Your Ranking

By Luis Galarza - Internet Marketing For Beginners.

Yes, Posting Your Videos On Your Blog As Post Content And Marketing Is Great! But, Are You Doing It Right For The Sake Of Your Blog SEO Efforts?...

Photo by seoz87.

One way to increase the traffic to your blog is by adding unique content on a regular basics, and you can do this by posting your videos from YouTube or any other video sharing sites. This is one of those perfect double marketing knife that sometimes can be difficult to create. Why is a great promotion strategy? Because you get instant content for blog, which turns into extra traffic, plus you increase the exposure to your online videos. So, if you are not doing this yet, you better start right away because you are missing out the ride to even more market share, web authority, site traffic, and more revenue.

And who doesn't want to increase their reader count?

Posting regular content is one of the best ways to get more eyes on your blog. So, every time you make a video, podcast, webcast, audio report, or any type of informational material I recommend you to share it with your readers by making a post for each material.


There Is A Ranking Problem!

The problem about this strategy doesn't have anything to do with weather you need to post or not to post your videos on your site. As I said before, you need to do it because is a great way to boost your marketing. But in order for this strategy work its full potential you need to learn how to do it right.

Before I show you the right way to do it, let me explain the wrong way to post videos on your site:
  • The main problem with videos posts is that they're not completely optimized for the search engines!


That's it, you posts lack of full blog SEO (Search Engine Optimization) structure. Many bloggers post their media as the complete content because lack of time, laziness, or just looking for a little traffic. Yes, they add a good keyword rich title, and some relevant tags, but does it, and that my friends is not enough.


What you may not know is that no even the top search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask, or AOL cannot read the content of a video or image just yet, maybe in the future, I know Google has been working hard to accomplish this but no valid results yet.


So, if the engines can't read your content how can you get the full potential of your ranking. Your video post will not stand a chance against a regular written post. Yes, you can get some quality back links, but your competitors will still be ahead of you, because they have better on site optimization. Which send us to the solution...




On Site seo Is The Solution!


Optimizing your post when all the information is in video format can be challenging for some, but is something that you must do to give your media a boost. Here some things you can do to have some written content with the media:
  • Write an introduction to the content.
  • List all the main point the information is going to address.
  • Explain the problems the information is going to help your readers solve.
  • Make a list of facts and myth about the problem.
  • Provide extra tips or advice to add value to the post.
  • Report what others are saying about the problem.
  • Add any reviews about the content written by others.
  • Make a list of resources where readers can get extra information.
  • Add your own review about the information.


I hope those little tips can help you turn those posts into real resourceful articles. Now let's get into some on-site SEO tactics to make sure search engines give some real love to those articles:
  1. Make sure you use a good keyword research tool to find a good phrase to target.
  2. Add the keyword phrase you are trying to target with that article on the title.
  3. Write a title people will want to click on. Make it exiting, unique, surprising.
  4. Make sure is an introduction before the video that has your key-phrase in it.
  5. Keep your keyword density at less that 5%. This mean that your targeted keywords are only 5% of your content.
  6. Add relevant tags or labels if you are using Google Blogger as blogging platform.
  7. Link ot another article that has the same keyword on the title. Make sure adds value to your article.
  8. When writing the content you can add different variations of your keyword, or relevant key-phases.

That's good enough to make your videos a fully optimized resourceful article, that you readers would appreciate, and also may generate some link baiting love to your article, which means free exposure and traffic.

Here are some good articles to help you with you blog SEO efforts:

2.- Go Matrix: When you add special effect showing something amazing or impossible to do can make your clips spread.

3.- Animal Skills: We don't know why we are drawn to animals or pets but this weakness can help you make your clips viral by filming pets trick and special animal skills.

4.- Magnetic Kids: No, you don't have to make your kids eat magnets on front of the camera (good idea for a viral video, don't you think?), what I mean is that many top videos just show natural shots of cute kids doing what they do best, being kids.

5.- Music That Get Stock In Your Head: Create or by the rights of a really catchy music and use it to make a viral video around it.

6.- Injury Clips: As soon it's not me or you, we'll watch it, and many other will watch it too. That's why so many top reality TV series are base on this technique.

10.- Sex Sells: It's true, and you can use it to attract maximum views. Use it wisely. Don't forget your marketing goals. A hotel use this strategy to show off their rooms on Myspace, by using a beautiful model that undress down to her panties and bra and shows how comfortable and cool are those rooms.



Stay Away From The High Quality Trap.

Many people will tell you that your clips needs to be produce in high quality for it to be effective, and other will say that high quality will take away the natural flow of your content, the truth is that both ways are OK, as soon is relevant to what you audience is looking for, and if it doesn't interfere with your message.

For example, if you want to use funny type of clips that look home made, a normal quality will be the best choice, but if you are doing an education or training video you need to use the best quality you can. Now, in both cases your media have to be clear enough to make the clip watchable, if not will cut your chances of turning off the viral effect of it.

TIP: You have to setup your channel from the beginning, because on sites like YouTube, your user name is your channel name... so, name it right from the start.

2.- Choosing The Right Category.
Even if your channel name is a crazy and bizarre nickname don't pick comedy as your category, if your content is about making money with MLM or network marketing. Remember that you want highly targeted users that will turn into loyal video viewers, and you don't want to upset viewers and call you spammer. So, find the category that best relate to your content and target audience, this not only give you better search ranking for your videos, but also will increase your web conversions.


3.- Title or Headline Copy Matters.
Your video title or headline have to have two main things that will ensure better search position on the engines and on the site's search tool: The first one is keywords or key phrases that are relevant with the content of your video. And the second one is action verbs, call to a problem, or name the solution people that are interest in your niche are looking for.


4.- Branding All The Way.
If you plan to create a brand for your video channel, you need to ad the name of your brand to your video title or headline, for example: The MinisodeNetwork is the name of a popular channel of YouTube, this is how they called one of their videos about Spider-man "Spider-Man Minisode - Tight Squeeze".

Why they do this? Simply because they are creating a brand for them-self, eventually their brand name will get popular enough that users will use their channel name to search for their videos.


5.- Make Descriptions For Users.
Don't make the mistake many SEO beginners make when optimizing their web content and article for search engines. What they usually do is make a list of keywords hoping search engines will drive traffic to them from many results... You need to know that search engines are smart enough to catch this lame optimization tricks that can get your site penalize and out of ranking completely.

Well the same thing apply to video marketing and video search engine optimization... Plus, users won't like those type of hard pushing marketing. So, don't put all your keywords here, only use those that you actually are optimizing for...

Use it at the beginning of your video description, and use a variation of your main keyword at least 2 times on the rest of the body. Now, when you write it make sure it make sense, and give a good overview of the content of your video, by pointing out what they are going to learn from it or the benefits.

6.- Got Tags.
One of the main features of Web 2.0 is "Tags", which is a content management tool that helps computers, web users, and specially search engine find and categorize online content. This is one of the most important part of your on-site video SEO efforts. So, use them on every video you submit to any type of online video sharing site. The key here is... use your main keywords, secondary keywords, and any keyword that relates to your content.
TIP: First use the keywords that you use on your title, and description, then use other keywords related to the content. Also use your brand name as a tag. For example: If your content is about affiliate marketing and your main keyword is affiliate marketing training and your channel name is AffiliateCash. Then your tags should look like this: "Affiliate Marketing Training, AffiliateCash, Affiliate Marketing, Affiliate, Marketing, Affiliate Internet Marketing, Affiliate Programs Marketing, Affiliate Training".

7.- Tagging All The Way.
This is a simple but very useful on-site SEO tip that you need to take advantage right away... Just use as many tags as you can, make sure you use up to the maximum of tag that the site let you have. Here is why: Every tag that you add to your video automatically creates a web page for that tag, and you know what? That tag page has a link back to your video page. What you doing is using the site structure to give you back links from relevant web pages.


8.- Become Social Addicted.
What I mean with this? Well, I mean is that you need to be an active users of the community by visiting other channels, commenting on videos, and not only on those related to your niche, but on any video that you watch... every time you post a comment on somebody else video page, your channel name becomes a link back to your profile which is linking to your videos. This make your an on-site active link expanding factor for your online video pages. Remember, the more back links the higher is your page ranking, which give you better search engine position.

OFF Site SEO Tips For Video

9.- Give Your Videos Some Buzz.
Post your videos in your blog or website and complement them with some extra text that will make your blog visitors watch your videos, but without quiting visiting your site, simply because you will give extra tips on your site.


10.- Don't Just Buzz.
Every time you post a video on your site, also add a active link to the video page, but remember to use the title of your video as the anchor name. Just like I did for the MinisodeNetwork video above.


11.- Ping It.
Just like you do with your blog every time your add new content, you can do the same thing to your videos. Just go to AutoPinger, Pingoat, and PingOMatic and ping your video content to as many RSS directories as possible. You do this every time you upload a new video.


12.- Submit To Directories.
Off-site SEO for video is getting as many back links to your video web page as possible. Well just use my RSS and Blog Directories List and start submitting your videos to all those directories. You don't have to do all of them in one day, just pick 10 directories per day that will get you started fast.

To get you started go to: Digg, del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Propeller, Reddit. The more social bookmark sites you use, the more one way back links you can get.


14.- RSS Syndiction.
Add your videos RSS feeds on your blog or website this will give link back to each of the latest upload videos. Also, create an Squidoo lens that can give a list of tips about the niche that you are targeting with your videos and add your videos RSS feeds to the lens.

Selling Video Infoproducts In Blue Ray Disc or HD DVD Is Useless

By Luis Galarza - Affiliate Marketing Secret Training Guide Blog

If Start Selling Video Infoproducts In Blue Ray Disc or HD DVD... Will The Resolution and HD Video Format Increase The Value Of Your Product And Lower Returns? Is It The Right Time For This Strategy? Or This Tactic Is Just An Useless Marketing Idea!

A few of my Internet marketing consulting customers ask me about this matter... They already selling a video information product in standard DVD format and are having a lot of success, distributing the video training material online and offline. But, they think that they will be able to increase the price of their product by updating the format into Blue Ray Disc or HD DVD which make their product value increase in the mind of their prospects and customers.

All those assumptions are true... but, there are bigger problems that will make this ebook marketing strategy unsuccessful, or even useless.

Here are some of the problems for anyone thinking on selling video infoproducts in Blue Ray Disc or HD DVD format:

1.- Trend Is Hot But Not Enough Market Potential
Before you thinking on selling any type of ebook or information products you need to know who will be your customers, and in the case of Blue Ray and HD DVD there is not enough prospects, because standard DVD still the top selling format. Meaning that a lot of consumers still haven't update to HD yet. This fact makes this strategy useless...

2.- Not A Solution For Beginners With Little or No Money
The tools to create Blue Ray Disc or HD DVD are very expensive for many entrepreneurs. A regular high definition player can cost you $300 or more, so just imaging how much more you need to paid to get HD recorder. Also, to create high-def video format you need high quality video production tools and software, including a good high-def ready computer.

3.- Consumers Haven't Decide Yet
This two new HD video formats are excellent for movies but consumers are confuse about which one is the best for their experience and for their money. Many people though that the Adult Industry was the one that will make the decision for us like they did with VHS and Vetamax, making VHS the winning format. This time the adult industry market adoption was slow by the fact that better and shaper video image means that their actors need to look perfect, if not any imperfection will easily be shown.

4.- Adaptation Is All About Pricing Not Just Technology
Because coupons and discounts are so successful promotion strategies, consumers and businesses are use to always be in the look out for the best deals online or offline on any type of products... This is why standard DVD format still number one in the sales race against Blue Ray Disc and HD DVD. People will adapt to this new formats as soon they become more afforable, and it doesn't matter how sharpe the image is...

Don't get me wrong HD video is a great way to improve value and to show your tutorials details but as an infoproduct the time is not there yet. Some companies specially auto web sites are already testing high definition video as part of their Internet marketing and web sales conversion tactics to make there product presentation more appealing for their visitors.

12 Ways To Use Direct Response Video Marketing Online

By Luis Galarza, Internet Marketing Training Blog

Here Are 12 Ways To Use The Revolutionary Power Of Direct Response Online Video Marketing or Internet Infomercials.

Today I want to talk a little about the potential of the right use of dynamic Internet infomercials or direct response videos. One easy way to start learning this Internet marketing strategy is by simply going offline and turning on your TV set, specially at night when most well done infomercials are out to sell you the viewer.

So, why so many marketers keep using TV infomercials?

...because it works, the video type advertising delivers an one-on-one merchant and viewer interaction that takes the selling to a more personal level (an easy to sell level).

Here are the 12 ways to use video in your business to make more money online:

1.- Customer Testimonials
Every Internet marketer knows that having testimonials on your website can increase your conversion rates. But, if you ad video testimonials you can double those numbers.

2.- Visual FAQ's
A question and answers resource web page is design to help you lower your customer service emails and phone calls. Now, by using online video you can take your question and answers support page to the next level, by providing site tutorials, product overview, and much more.

3.- Real Estate Listing
If you are a realty and have a website you can have the website to do the pre-selling by having virtual tours of each house on your list for sale.

4.- Video Press Releases
With the help of Web 2.0 video sharing sites like YouTube, Yahoo Video, Google Video and others you can upload a detail video press release about your new start-up company, new product, new store location, new website, new blog launch, etc... And have millions of online video fans to view your video.

5.- Sales Kits
You can give away video brochures and information files to show your web prospects or current customers product features, new product line, and product presentations.

6.- Video Shopping Shows
You can host video shopping shows in your ecommerce site, or blog to try to provide another way for people to see your products in action and a way to buy it instantly, by web or by phone.

7.- Training And Installation Guides
If you selling products that required a little help or training to get it up and running like a software or web script, you can make the process easier to your customers by providing a "How to" video to walk them through the installation process.

8.- Expert Interviews
If you have the chance to interview experts in your field or industry that can express how bad is to have the problem that your product can solve, and how nice it is when is fix. This can help you drive traffic when you let people know the date when the interview is going to take place or the day you are going to post it on your site or blog, we'll also increase your sales conversions.
