Another Chapter My Video Marketing Adventure

I have recently begun to develop a series of

SEO training videos and I am finding the challenges are extremely rewarding. As

I have previously mentioned as I have been providing a running narrative of my

experiences.

I have been able to successfully use videos

to crush my competition. There are several keyword phrases were I hold every

position on the first page. Yes, that’s 10 out of 10! In two short

months I have placed videos on around 100 or so websites.

When possible, I link these video’s back to

their homes on YouTube. I have also spent dozens of hours viewing video’s

or reading about how the YouTube algorithm works. I am still scratching my head

why others rank ahead of me. There are two specific videos posted around the

same time as are mine did.

That is about the only thing we have in

common other than we are both targeting the same keyword phrase, Local SEO.

The first two videos have only around 30 views. They have almost have no

activity in their accounts. All the things that the supposed to be major

factors in the YouTube algorithm don’t seem to apply here.

Now, having said that two of my three videos

are one the first page ranking around 8th and 12th for

the search Local SEO. The first video out ranks the second but the second one

has about three times as many views as the first one. The second video has been

on YouTube about half the days as the first one. So I still attempting to

figure this all out for ranking purposes.

The first video was a pat myself on the back

video where I proved that I rank both # 1 and # 2 for my services in Tucson.

The second video was a training video about using social media to crush the

competition. It provided useful information about how to use social media to

gain a huge advantage in the Google search results.

When I first started using YouTube things

were very slow. I had a hard time getting anyone's attention. Then I played the

let’s be friends routine over one weekend and ended up with about 80 friends.

You need some activity on your channel page (YouTube profile page) such as

friends and subscribers before people take you serious. Now, I get an average

of 5 friends requests per day and my three videos have been viewed (opened) by

about 580 people.

That 580 number is a bit misleading as a

video gets opened as soon as someone enters my channels page. It’s a nice

little tool to inflate a videos views. But what I find very interesting

is that opening a video has very little correlation with whether they finish

the video. Everyone knows this, but it is still extremely important because

this will greatly enhance your ability to get seen. The persons video that has

1,000 views is more likely to be watched than the one with only 150 views.

Another reason that views are important is

the YouTube allows you to do advanced searches. And amazingly we will likely

soon be on the first page when someone is searching for the most viewed video

tagged Local SEO. Our second video currently has about 360 views. The video

that sits in the 20th spot has about 450 views.

That video, the one with 450 views was posted

some 10 months ago. Thus I like the position that I have found myself in. I am

pleased to be targeting this search. Ranking well for views acts like a long

tailed keyword phrase. It can be easy to rank well for niche markets. It also

creates synergy. On YouTube mass matters. The more friends the more views the

higher your video ranks.

Are you ready to give video marketing a try?

If you think it is difficult think again. Take the time to watch some videos in

your market niche. You will quickly see that you don't have to be a video

expert to post on YouTube. In fact most videos are not that good, so if you can

produce an average video with great content you should do well.
