The general idea that is applied by many webmasters and
SEO’s is that, they try to get their designed websites on the first page or the best rankings in Google and Yahoo search engines by publishing immense content articles, links and backlinks that lead to the website. However, in the advancement of the tech savvy age, one more thing should be taken into consideration. How about using videos for achieving higher site rankings?
Many of the individuals, especially the web surfers are now accustomed to type a keyword and then get list of articles to read. But, it would be great if you got them something new. Uploading videos would be much better so that they do not have to strain to read the entire article to get the knowledge about the thing they are searching for. Efficient clips can work wonders. This is a new way of generating traffic on your website.
Undoubtedly, this is one of the challenges that the
SEO’s are faced with in the year 2010. Video search engine optimization is not so developed that everything could be done easily. Getting SERP’s by employing videos would be difficult as the search engines such as Google only list keywords. So it is vital the after uploading a video you write atleast a paragraph that is focused on keywords which describe the video or website in a whole.
The best way would be to upload a video on YouTube and then place articles in directories such the links would refer to the YouTube video and hence in turn would attract users to your web page. Just like having links at the end of an article, you can have links at the end of videos and generate the similar amount of traffic on your website.
But the only important thing is that you’ll have to submit some small write ups so that Google would get your videos on the first page rankings. Apart from this you also have to edit the clips in such a way that the use is tempted to click on it and view them, for their research.
This is because; when you upload a video there are only thumbnails that will view them, when stagnant. Also, some of the video directories, especially YouTube, would get the thumbnail from the middle of your video. So you should edit the clip in such a way that the most attractive part is viewed in the thumbnail.
You can also place links in the social networking sites such as twitter and facebook as they are the most famous sites in today’s tech savvy generation. There are options to upload videos there as well, but you should again pay attention to the details of thumbnails as it is different for different sites.
You can also share your videos by blogs, in here; you will have to use an embedded code for doing so. Also, since the videos can have tags on them, you can use keywords there, so that it is easily tracked by pages of search engines and you get significant amount of viewers for your website.
