Search Engine Promotion Video

One of the things I see lots of Internet Marketers doing is putting their full focus on Google and their search engine rankings, to the exclusion of all other search engines.

At first glance this makes sense because Google do have by far the largest market share i.e. more people use Google for finding what they want on the Internet than any other search engine.

However because more people use it, more advertisers are drawn to it and advertise with Google, so this often brings more competition, and pushes up the cost to advertise.

Have you ever considered focusing on some of the less prominent search engine? Or at least putting some focus on them?

Yahoo and MSN are two examples of search engines that still get a considerable number of people using them (obviously not to the level Google does) however, it some cases I have researched there is little and if your really lucky no competition for paid advertising with these search engines in particular niches.

Thats right, it’s possible for you to be the only paid advertiser for a given niche. Of course this could change at any time, and people will get savvier about this as word gets out.

Imagine if you can get your website listed prominently in these search engines result pages, but also advertising your website using their paid advertising!

Now you will obviously want to ensure you’re also using Google, and focusing on getting good rankings in their search engines results, but don’t ignore these other search engines.

One thing I tell people is to try and bring in as much traffic as you can from as many sources as possible.

I mean would you be happy with 1000 visitors to a day when it quite possibly to increase this by 100% or more by using some of the other traffic sources outlined on this website?

You want as many visitors as possible, don’t you. Sure you want them to be targeted and qualified visitors, and not just random people surfing by (unless you have a fantastic product that everyone in the world would want). If you have such a product let me know, I’d probably want to invest in your company!

When considering finding out more about search engine placement marketing; it pays to do a little research first as a good way to move forward fast! Watch the sharks out there!

To expand your horizons you just need a little vision. I tell people to spend some time looking at the larger picture and working out where you want your website to be. Always focus on what your site is or looks like from a visitor’s perspective. Great content that is relevant to the visitor will ramp up your sales in no time flat!

Make sure you look into other search engines, there could be a gold nugget just waiting for you to come along and mine!

Top Search Engine Placement Video

The human mind thinks in pictures, so a good video will “stick in the mind” of people generally, particularly if it a little “out there” and different to some of the boring video “sales pitches” that are easy to find online.

Of course the Video should offer relevant and useful content to the viewer as well, so make sure that it is interesting and fun to watch as well as being relevant.

Having relevant, great quality, and useful content is vital to your online success.

If your website is all about dog training, and the video you produce is about computers, well your probably not going to get a great response are you? Unless you happen to be selling a method to train dogs to use computers, in which case that would be a great idea! Showing a dog “typing” on a computer!It’s vital that you provide relevant, and useful content and give the viewer a reason to take action (hopefully visiting your site).

Once they get to your website (assuming the video is posted on YouTube or another video content sites) then your other marketing methods kick into gear. Obviously you can also place Video on your website in which case it’s more of an “added-value” to keep the visitor on your website. That said more and more Internet Marketers are “getting” Video.

The use of Video includes things like uploading content to youtube.com (you have heard of them, right? Google paid $1.3Billion dollars to purchase the company!). Every man (and his dog) is uploading video content to YouTube, so why not you?

Now if you not as good looking as me, don’t worry you can still make a successful video. You see the video doesn’t necessarily need to show you in the picture, it could be a PowerPoint presentation, a web page presentation, or demonstration of some software.

The aim of using Video is to try and catch the interest of the viewer. You need to make a connection with him/her so that they are hopefully interested enough to visit your website in the future, or stay at your website to find out more information.

Now I know my good looks and pleasing personality and lovely Australian accent make me an enticing easy sell to viewers, but if your not fortunate enough to possess all these traits don’t despair!!

All jokes about my “good looks” aside take a look at some videos (do a search on google for 50 million hits, and see if you can find me on page 1!)

If someone like me can produce something like that, then surely you can. Maybe you actually found my website from a video. If so, how’s that? Proof that video works that’s what!

And if not, remember. Youtube alone has tens of thousands of videos played EVERY day, think about the number of people who are visiting that website, that’s a lot of people, and because people can search by category they can find your video.

Don’t ignore a potential goldmine here! Part of being success as a marketer on the internet means you need to ensure your grabbing as big a share of traffic as you can. It doesn’t make any sense to ignore this market does it? In fact it doesn’t make sense to ignore any traffic strategies (within reason) does it?

Camtasia is the product that I use for all my video presentations, and it is so simple to use and easy to setup, you just can’t go wrong. About the only thing I can complain about is that there is not a mac version.

If your interested in using Video on your site but the price of Camtasia is a little too high, consider Easy Web Video (the name of the product).

It’s a simple way to get Video on your website in next to no time!I also have a real video recorder that I use on occasion, it just takes a little bit of time to find out about the technology (how to convert file formats, etc) but once you have that information, your good to go.

Camtasia has the ability to link into a webcam, which really makes it a neat solution. In fact that is how I did the Video on the front page.

Now the next problem you may face is uploading videos to the various video services. Like search engines they are many video websites, and it can take some time to individually upload videos to each site, ensure they are working, etc.

I found online a very handy video service. This one is not a website, but an actual software product. Unfortunately the package is not free, but the good thing about it is that it will allow you to upload your videos to multiple sites quickly and easily and automatically by using the software on your desktop.

Check out Video Upload Pro.

Of course, you don’t need to use automated software; you can still do it yourself, but keep them in mind if you find that you are wasting lots of time doing manually what could be done automatically.Hopefully I have convinced you that you need to be using video content on your website. It’s a fantastic web site traffic promotion.
