It was bound to happen sooner or later. I have been preaching that video marketing was going to take over, and it seems that time is upon us. Ever since the introduction of Universal Search in Google the SERP’s have been starting to flood with videos optimized with keyword dense title tags. I have done this myself first hand with my Yahoo Answers video climbing to #1 in Google Video and then with another 3-4 keyword phrases in the top 3 in Google with a forum postingand a blog posting. Talk about dominance ehh? This all occurred within 48 hours as well:).
The new wave of manipulating Search Results is upon us. In every way possible “Big Daddy” tries to optimize a better user experience for its beloved searchers. In every way, people (especially marketers and SEO monetizers) take everything Google throws at us, and turns it around on them. It is almost like it is becoming easier every time Google goes thru one of these changes.
Google introduced Universal Search to give everyone a more comprehensive way of how we search and view information throughout their Search Engine. What really gets me is that they do these things and it is almost like they do not bear SEO monetizers in mind. They are far behind in that aspect and here’s why:
- They always aim to provide a better user experience, but in doing so they allow new ways for SE manipulation
- By the time they catch on and start cleaning it up, we already figured out “how” they are going to do it, and this allows us to “adapt” to the change and live on
- They are large no doubt, but the amount of people sharing information about how to manipulate their search engine is so high it’s almost like the movie “300″ yet Google’s “spartans” are more like pedofiles when they are first introduced to general population
Social Media allows videos to be shared and passed around so many times that getting high authority backlinks at lightening speed takes hardly any effort. Oh, let us not forget the fact that places such as Youtube, Revver, and DailyMotion carry so much page-rank juice it is hard to turn down the evil notion that a properly optimized titled video is bound to destroy some hard working white-hatter in the free search result listings. As a matter of fact, after a little digging of all 3 sites in order, they each carry a respective Pagerank #8, #7 and #7. What is even more crazy is that according to Alexa (which sucks but usually close on large sites) Youtube is the #4th most visited site on the Internet. Oh yea, and it also accounts for 10% of all Internet traffic.
It is just to hard to turn your head away from the power of online video if your in the Search Engine Monetization business. Whether your just building traffic, a list, marketing affiliate products, or who knows what, it is so crazy to think that a $100 webcam can potentially turn you into a cash juggling superstar.
Aside from SEO results, your still going to pull some insane numbers that travel among these sites every day as well. One could probably make a good amount of money just relying on the video sharing sites alone. When you add in the mix that Google has opened the door to easily topping their Search Results, then it’s a no brainer not to at least try it out right? I can tell you from personal experience, just from Youtube alone, it has made a HUGE impact in how I relay information and market affiliate products and CPA offers online.
There is no telling on the amount of competition you can go against with video that I know of. I can assure you that as word spreads around the world, there will be a general idea of what you can compete against easily, coming soon. When this happens, I would expect all hell to break loose in multiple niches. The search results are going to be a video viewing frenzy.

Ruck,
I get what you’re saying, but I don’t get the “how” of it.
Will you ever release any info about the “how” of taking advantage of this SEO power? I mean, how does a person need to create the videos that they want to have to point to their sites? Do you simply make some powerpoint presentations and convert them to videos or do you do something else?
I really hope that you elaborate more on this technique. I, and I’m sure many others, are very interested in what you have to say about it.
Thanks!
Chris
