People usually love video, millions of Americans consume videos online and same is the case world over. A consumer is most likely to keep in mind and refer to a video in comparison to a print advertisement. These days video making is very economical as compared to the cost of a traditional commercial. Broadband is getting enormous popularity worldwide. Now people can watch videos without long download times or quality issues. Present generation considers video to be a reliable source of news and information. Online video for them is second to nature. Here are a few tips/hints for optimizing your video:

1) All SEO specialists know that the search engines are built to index and rank text. Being that it is more difficult for the search engines to understand the content within a video (though they are working on it), it is a good idea to include as much text surrounding the video itself if possible. One excellent way to do this is to include a text transcript of your video alongside your video with keyword rich title and descriptions.

2) Don’t forget to encode the keywords you are targeting into your video. Try to use the word “video” as much as possible, make sure the word “video” is used in your title, description, meta data etc.

3) Search engine crawlers rely a lot on the link texts to figure out what the video is all about as they are not capable to figure out the contents of the video otherwise. Therefore it is advisable to get as many back links as possible for your video.

4) It is advisable to create a separate sitemap just for your videos in your site and try to keep your video files in one directory this would help the web crawlers to locate your video files speedily and effortlessly.

5) If you are hosting the video on your own site, it is advisable to do your best to utilize a player that is not flash as search engines have difficulty understanding flash content. That being said, it will be difficult to empower video on your site without a simple flash player. If you can not get around it, do your best to take advantage of the other SEO techniques since search engines cant understand the flash technology.

6) Create search engine friendly keyword URLs for your video pages. To do this, you can use mod-rewrite function or htaccess file so that the URLs are freely assessable and readable by the search engines.

7) More than anything, I have learned that the thumbnail that you choose for your video is one of the most important factors in terms of the number of people that choose to view your video. With that in mind, try to experiment with various thumbnails until you have a good idea which images attract the most views from the audience that you are targeting.

If you are hosting videos on your own site, use the sitemap that we mentioned earlier and keep your videos all in the same directory folder so that search engines can more easily locate all the videos you are publishing.

Besides the tips mentioned above for Video SEO, there are a few other guidelines to keep in mind:

9) Keyword research, as with search engine optimization for other online content, is crucial for targeting the audience you desire most effectively. Use keyword research tools available in order to identify those words that most often are searched for when searching for related content online.

10) Enable ratings, reviews, comments, and feedback on your videos. Research shows that allowing users to provide feedback results in greater views for your video in addition to the fact that users who provide feedback tend to be those users that act.

Seeing our m.d. , we feel safer seeing that diploma on the wall. It doesn’t hurt to know some of his/or her living, breathing walking patience, many of whom have reached to ripe old ages. It simply makes us feel better than ol’ doc knows what he/she is doing.

When buying an auto, we do a little more than kick the tires. We test drive it, and often take it to our own mechanic to takes a better look at it.

But way too often, we hire an S.E.M. (Search Engine Manager), the person who does our SEO (Search Engine Optimization) simply because we saw an attractive website that maybe had some nice testimonials on it. Did you know that the majority of people who call themselves SEM’s read an E-book or two and figured they learned all they needed to know and are off to the races, charging hundreds and even thousands of dollars to tweak a few keywords or phrases and maybe get a few articles placed for you?

But did you ever stop to ask your SEM how many websites he has moved to rank number one on Google? Try it next time you intend to hire someone to facilitate your web marketing. What is his/her own Google Ranking. What does Alexa.com think about the site. Is it at least in the top one million? Most are not.

I accidentally became and SEM in my late forties. I don’t even pretend to know it all, or even bet the best, but I do know how it works. I started my cartoon website in 1997. It had no ranking with anyone, and Google didn’t even exist then. Yahoo wouldn’t even index it because I could not afford my own domain and had to have it sub-hosted. It was a very pretty site but a ?floating island?. Nobody could find us, and I hadn’t a clue how to fix that.

Browsing the Yellow pages I found Internet Marketing? and called the guy. Surely he would know what to do. Maybe I could afford to pay him even on my thin budget. He came out, looked at the computer, changed up a few keywords, and my web design, created some banners, charged me a few hundred dollars and left. This would be the ?shape of things to come?. I would run into many SEM’s (Search Engine Managers), who would take my money gladly.

So I enrolled in school at age 46 and learn business information management. I shopped around to see who had the very best classes (online) in this type of technology and found the best. I was surprised when they accepted me. I was later even given a scholarship. I was actually learning some new valuable skills, which made me very happy, but with mixed emotions of the dozens of so called search engine managers who took me to the cleaners. This won’t happy again, and I hope you feel the same if it has happened to you.

My cartoon web page has been the number one rated Google offbeat cartoon for the past three years. Before my education, it was not even ranked. It ranks in Alexa at about 800,000 and that number can be volatile. On Google, it continues to stay number one, thanks to various SEO techniques I use that keeps it there. Every single SEM I hired didn’t have a clue.

Next time you hire an Internet marketer, you might ask him/or her ?How many search engines have you marketed that has made it to the very top of Google?? Or even better yet, ?How many have you marketed that not only got to the top, but stayed there for awhile?? If they are honest with you, they will have to tell you not many if any. Ask them how their own site ranks. That too can be a ?deal-killer? question. Did you know that the majority of SEM’s have no college training and simply take information from outdated E-books written by so-called gurus,and hang out a shingle. Chances are, you may just know more than they do after a day of researching SEO or search engine optimization on the search engines.
